Thought provoking and not designed to please feminists

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2020)

I think some reviewers have lost sight of the fact that this is a film. A fiction. It isn't real. So they are 'calling out' the sexism, the fantasy', the male patriarchy elements where a 'man' (ugh) wakes up a woman just because he wants company, and only after considerable agonising. Yes, he did the wrong thing, and he knew he had, but this was the whole point of this fictional film - it makes you think - what would I do in this dilemma? You can't give a film 1 star because you disagree with what one of the characters did. That is not how film reviews work. Otherwise The Shining would have universal 1 star reviews wouldn't it? Oh no, that's fine, because it is only violence, not sex.
It is also helpful whenever accusations of sexism are flung around to reverse the polarities and say ok, what if it was a woman waking up a man? You would not hear a peep out of any of the angry complainants and indeed they would probably give the film 10 stars. A woman empowers herself!
So instead of judging a film based on whether or not you agree with what the characters are doing (which is a stupid approach as then every horror or murder film would be instantly rubbish), let's look at it as an artistic endeavour. Yes, there were some minor plot holes, but this is sci-fi. From my perspective, the acting was great, the sets were magnificent, the directing was excellent, and the story made you think. I was certainly glued to it until the end, and it entertained me. Isn't that what films are supposed to do?
And if Chris Pratt had just carried on in the space ship on his own for the next 60 years chatting to Arthur that would have made for a boring film, wouldn't it?
