Expo opens with a woman in a landed spaceship on the moon recieving the news that her daughter has just died. This scene only last for about a minute, yet it lingers on for the next twelve that are in the film. It never rises above that, or goes anywhere else. The idea for a futurist space film where the science is second to the characters and human experience, is of course good. It’s the execution that’s bad, Expo feels like a cheap play on emotions. One emotional, dramatic scene in a 13 minutue short is fine. Three or four though, is pushing it. Especially with the unbalanced and hardly belivable characters.
Wih that being said, the set and sceneary of this film that takes place on the moon is impressive. However it takes a backseat to the overly soapy story, and isn’t nearly enough to over compensate for it.
2.5/5
