A man and his teenage daughter encounter nonstop danger while searching for valuable gems on an alien moon.

Critics Consensus

Fueled by character development and setting instead of special effects, Prospect is a sci-fi story whose style is defined - and enriched -- by its limitations.

3.5/5

The defiantly lo-fi "Prospect" is a smartly entertaining throwback that doesn't need a Marvel movie's worth of CGI to make its point.

The film balances genre thrills with a detailed depiction of prospecting on an alien world, created via a mix of practical locations (shot in a damp Northwestern forest) and some psychedelic digital backdrops.

3/4

It's rare to see a sci-fi movie that genuinely has a true grit to it, a characteristic that bolsters its screenplay through its more underwhelming passages.

Watch 2018's Prospect for the story, of course, but also for the impeccable aesthetic.

Prospect is largely indebted to old-school westerns—the lawless pursuit of these gems is akin to an interstellar gold rush—and Pascal’s character fits into the equation as the charming gunslinger archetype.

3.5/4

The small details throughout Prospect, which have obviously been thought through and labored over, do much to immerse the viewer in the intense situations.

Utterly boring. Nothing much happens & the ending is quite underwhelming. I kept waiting for it to kick off but it never gets there. Not worth the time.

!This excellent film held my attention throughout. It has a unique "look" but is very well executed. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Cee and Damon head out to an alien moon harvesting gems from lifeforms like pearls when Ezra comes to steal their spoils. This movie has a nice ARC Raiders feel to it as there's nobody you can trust.

This is sort of grunge sci-fi. Dirty, messy full of slime and shite. The specials are well done and the cinematography is very good. Then there are the characters - and do we believe them or identify in some way with them? and I suppose so by the end of the film. Spoiler alert - the teenage girl who forges a bond through adversity with the man who killed her father? That’s the main premise but you have to suspend disbelief a fair bit. Pedro Pascal is an actor I’ve not come across before but he did a pretty good job.
