This tv series is easily one of my favorites of all time. I am a huge science fiction fan, and as such this is a fantastic series. The accurate depiction of how physics is affected in space starts right from the first episode and had me hooked. That and the mystery introduced to the audience as well makes you want to keep watching to see what is happening. This is made even more mysterious when you realize that it is a mystery that began at the far reaches of our solar system. ‘The Expanse’ is a show where if one mystery is solved, then another one pops up immediately after. Just like space in real life; if we discover something about the universe, then we will just keep ending up with more questions. Scientific curiosity is one of my favorite things in science fiction and this series shows that sometimes it can just go too far.

It feels as though most, if not all space films have to have some degree of horror added to them. Sometimes it is a monster or sometimes it is just space itself that can be horrific. Couple that with how horrifying people can be and you end up with a film that shows one of the worst case scenarios in a world saving endeavor. Both sides of human nature can be seen in this film, a fearful and ruthless side, and a brave and selfless side. That dynamic is what I think makes this film shine compared to other horror films. Every character is shown to have both sides to them throughout the film. This all comes to a head and you end up with a film that shows off just what kind of event you can end up with in an unlikely situation. This film is one that I would absolutely recommend someone watch if they have time.

The best way for me to sum up this film is exactly what is in the title of this post. Not just space can be terrifying though; humans, as shown in the film, can be just as scary as well with the things they do or make. The film is just full of horrifying things throughout, and some things are more obvious than others. This film lets you know early on just what type of film it is going to turn into. The film goes from mystery to thriller-horror very quickly and it is just as fantastic as it is terrifying. I can maybe see why the film received average or low scores when it released, but there is definitely a reason for why the film is now considered to be a cult classic film. There are a ton of themes that play throughout, but it seems that religious themes take the first pedestal in that regard. It isn’t something that is just constantly pushed in your face though, so I think that the film avoids being too preachy. It is a great film, and an excellent horror film that I think any horror movie buff should definitely go and watch.

This film starts off bleak, which is why I was expecting there to be some kind of triumph for humanity, but I did not expect what it would be. This film is one that I went for a long time without seeing, and then some day I decided to watch it. At this point we should know that just because a film is animated, that doesn’t mean it is a kids film. This is important to note because when I finally saw it, I was sort of shocked to see a movie about the vestiges of humanity surviving in the future. The film itself plays out in some ways like an epic, but at its hour and a half run time it is definitely worth the watch. If you aren’t into heavily into sci-fi and can’t suspend your disbelief, then you probably won’t like this film. It has its moments where it can be a bit much to take in, but I still enjoyed it overall as a film. I hope that this film has some kind of effect on people because it could inspire many people to work toward a better future.

I hardly ever get truly sad at the end of a film, but this is one of those films that I do get sad finishing. The bittersweet feeling that is left after the film is proof that the film itself had a huge impact. The way that all of the characters are portrayed within the film is something that makes it feel almost too real and makes crave affection. The whole movie is just a story of a lost affection and what some people would do in order to reacquire it. It is an odyssey for the characters involved and it makes me wonder whether or not I would be willing to go to the same lengths. If you suddenly had the one thing you loved taken away would you do anything to get it back. The main character of the film, masterfully portrayed by Haley Joel Osment, would do anything to get that back and it proves that he doesn’t need living tissue to feel the need for affection. Some people are even more mechanical than he is even though they are human, and this just shows that anyone or thing can yearn for something. Does it make you human or machine to want those things?
