Osiris Ratings & Reviews
- Mallek1d ago9/10 for a B movie. 6.5/10 compared to AAA titles. Way too much orange and teal on the eyes. Cinematography was great. Action is decent. Story is fine. That color grading is just rough man. Too much “wasteland” vibes, and not enough “alien spaceship” vibes. But it’s decent.
- jackmeat2d agoMy quick rating - 4.9/10. Osiris tries to beam you aboard a gritty, bullet-ridden sci-fi thrill ride, but somewhere between the alien abduction and the final firefight, the transmission gets garbled. Directed by William Kaufman, who previously helmed the solid Saints & Sinners, this B-budget outing stars genre veteran Linda Hamilton and the always-reliable Max Martini, both doing their best to anchor a film that’s drifting somewhere between Predator-lite and late-night SyFy fare. The setup is classic straight-to-video material: Special Forces soldiers on a mission suddenly vanish mid-op, only to wake up trapped in a mysterious alien environment. Is it a ship? Another planet? Or a soundstage in Louisiana? The movie never quite answers that, and honestly, it doesn't really matter. What does matter is that these humans are now prey in a galactic game of cat and mouse, though whether the cats have bulletproof fur seems to depend entirely on the needs of the scene. When Hamilton’s character finally shows up, she offers some exposition (or what passes for it), laying out the vague contours of what's going on. There's a half-hearted subplot about a “mother” figure that may have meant something in the script but feels like a half-sketched idea onscreen. It’s one of many narrative threads that seem to unravel as soon as they’re introduced. Visually, the alien antagonists steal the show, at least in terms of creep factor. Their heads bear an uncanny resemblance to the Chatterer Cenobite from Hellraiser, and their armor seems to come and go with plot convenience. One moment, they're walking tanks impervious to machine gun fire, and the next, they're going down like stormtroopers at a rebel barbecue. The inconsistency in their vulnerability makes it hard to feel any real stakes. Still, there are some fun touches. The alien tech is a mix of Halo-inspired shields and chunky blasters that look like they were built from leftover Nerf parts. And in keeping with long-standing action movie tradition, when all else fails, everybody drops their guns and just throws hands. It's dumb, it's predictable, and it's kind of charming in its own way. The plot progression is telegraphed early and often. As soon as the humans start plotting their big escape, you’ll have no trouble guessing how it’ll all shake out. But hey, the reason the aliens came to Earth in the first place? That was actually kind of clever: they intercepted the Voyager probe and took the invitation seriously. How’s that for NASA outreach? If you remember low-rent '90s sci-fi flicks like Neon City or Shadowzone with any kind of fondness, Osiris might hit a nostalgic sweet spot. My brain wandered off into the layered weirdness of eXistenZ—this is more functional than philosophical and not at that level. At a 4.9/10, Osiris doesn’t reach orbit, but for us B-movie fans with a taste for pulpy alien warfare and an appreciation for shoestring spectacle, there’s just enough here to make it through the runtime without pressing eject.
- Danny B3d agoOsiris feels like something that would have aired on the Sci-Fi Channel 25 years ago. It’s dumb, fast-paced, and packed with cheap-looking creatures and explosions. The sets are barebones, the CGI is rough, and the monsters look like guys in rubber suits. It tries to do a lot with very little, and sometimes that effort shows. It’s mildly entertaining in a throwback kind of way, but I won’t be watching it again. One viewing was enough.
- willyboy684d agoA cheap version of Predator. Only watch if nothing else is available.
- Figueiragames4d agoA good fiction movie. The end was great
- Gen Lock4d agoAmazing movie unexpected storyline will definitely watch it again in 4K, highly recommended for all sci-fi fans.
