The Silent Sea 2021

Difficult one to review. Starts really nice and then loses itself in the middle.
Really liked the visuals and the music, the SFX are also pretty nice.
Didn't like the actors at all, found that they were not convincing at all. For example the captain: "Your whole crew is dying, captain! What shall we do?". The captain just rises an eyebrow...
There are also a lot of plot holes: Why does the lift suddenly start to work, when they are working in the shaft? You get the feeling, that the moon would be "living", and then...no word again about that
And one star less for (bad) copying Aliens: "Sir, there's something moving on the radar! And it's fast!" Beep Beep "It's getting nearer!" BeepBeepBeep "Oh, it's just a little girl who is hiding!"
And I was like "Oh no! Soooo cheap!"

@borisrossi2020 that elevator thing is not explained explicitly but it is quite clear what happened once it is revealed that Ryu, the engineer claiming the elevator doesn't work, is a traitor. They even cut to him sitting on the controls during this scene.

I actually really likes that the show did not explain every little detail but instead gave many clues with little cuts to an important element (like including the bitemark when showing the infected hands)
