“Slingshot” Movie Review
Manage episode 437177488 series 88238
Rated R

Kevin says Slingshot kinda rocks!
If you think your job can make you feel isolated, there’s a movie that might give you new perspective.
SLINGSHOT is a science fiction thriller that examines the potential challenges of space travel. The story follows a trio of astronauts on a mission to Saturn’s moon of Titan.
However, as they approach a critical moment where they have to slingshot around Jupiter, things begin to break down. The harsh dangers of space and the influence of drugs used for suspended animation start to affect their psychological and emotional stability.
I’m a sucker for movies about a handful of people trying to survive in space. And a strong – but limited – cast featuring Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne helps carry the film.
The paranoia and trauma of the characters is where the meat of the story is. The movie milks the tension a little too much, drawing out the running time. But it kept me guessing, and for an ambitious psychological thriller in the vast emptiness of space, it made its point.
SLINGSHOT gets three gas giants out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
