Review of Oxygen

Oxygen (2021)
6/10
A claustrophobic thriller with a few logical issues
27 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
She was one of the clones that's being sent to the new planet of humans along with many other clones. His original human was an elderly scientist. I felt the same as I watched Moon as they have some false memories that they never lived. The first 30 minutes were really claustrophobic and it became better as she spoke to MILO and made phone calls to the earth. I somehow knew she was in space. She got back to hyper sleep with the oxygen reserves of other failed capsules. The moment where she saw what's on the other side of the window was really creepy with those floating faceless dead bodies and numerous other capsules attached to each other as a part of a gigantic space ship. The last scene was the clone couple was hugging each other on their new planet. Liz's husband Leo back in the planet earth was already a dead man due to the viral epidemic in the planet and humanity was doomed to go extinct. It exceeded my expectations and at times it got really sentimental. And there are some logical issues such as why would MILO answer questions that are not concerning her health and why would she have Internet connection during the space travel? And more important why wouldn't the system immediately do something to put her back to sleep or just "deactivate" her? For the sake of the twist they sacrificed a bit of logic in the screenplay.
