Pretty Good Stuff
Prospect was a pleasant surprise. For a film that cost only $4 million to make, it gives you a pretty solid punch. There are some pretty impressive visuals and reminded me a tiny bit of the Fallout video game series.

Review from the comment
A father/daughter prospecting team are on a harsh planet looking for a big payday. They are on the clock, their only ride out being a band of mercenaries who they can't come back to empty handed. But when they are ambushed by a pair of goons looking to take over their loot, an unlikely alliance must be formed between both sides to take on the planet's dangers and killers even more nefarious than these cons.
Prospect is a great exhibition on how to do a lot with a little. It features a small cast, the biggest name being Pedro Pascal as the main thief taking on the father/daughter. Youngster Sophie Thatcher is excellent as the daughter who is smarter and more crafty than everyone realizes. Rookie writer/ directors Christopher Caldwell and Zeek Earl kick in the door with fresh ideas on how to pile on the suspense and show that you don't need a gazillion dollars to make a great piece of sci-fi which is also equally as good of a thriller. That isn't always an easy thing to achieve and I'm amped to see what these guys do next.
