Stowaway

Writer's picture: TV Watch DawgTV Watch Dawg

Bare Bones:

A three-person mission to Mars discovers they have an extra passenger.

Running Time – 1 hr. 56 min.


Overall Thoughts:

Stowaway lets us ponder the question of the value of a single life, as its weighed against the lives and livelihoods of others, and other costs associated with saving it. Once we buy the idea of how the stowaway happened, we find realistic and measured reactions from the crew members as they deal with an impossible situation, and we wonder what we would do in the same situation. The struggles here are more mental than physical.


What Makes This Movie Special:

We don't see any over-reaction or showy release of emotions in Stowaway, just as we would expect from professional astronauts. The characters are believable, even given the extraordinary circumstances.

Beware Of:

I was going to call Stowaway slow-moving, kind of ironic given the speed of the spaceship. Yet, the action inside the ship is very quiet and thoughtful, meaning there's less action than many other space movies.


For Dawg Eyes Only:

Makes you wonder if there is canine life on other planets.
