3/4
Marooned isn't very interesting from a stylistic point of view, and the actors tend to get buried beneath the technology, but it does tell an exciting story. Go to Full Review Richard Schickel LIFE 10/02/2019
The special effects are swell and I ended up feeling nice and tense despite myself. Go to Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator 07/11/2018
