Biosphere (2022)
7/10
Not what I expected, but fun.
24 August 2023
Former US President Billy and his scientific advisor Ray are the last two humans alive, living in a custom made done, surviving on a custom built eco system, but when their last female fish dies, they are forced to re-evaluate their situation.

Mark Duplass writes and stars, and he's rather good I thought, Sterling K. Brown was excellent, the chemistry between the pair was excellent, and one of the film's strongest points.

First off, I can totally get why some people have slated it, this is a movie that is genuinely not for everyone, arguably not for most, but I do like the odd movie now and then, and this remarkably odd movie was just so different.

The story is over the top and outlandish, it definitely had a strong relevance for this day and age, lots of talk about gender, sex and masculinity, but it does not preach.

An odd mix of drama, sci fi, fantasy and comedy, there were quite a few occasions that I burst out laughing, not sure if it was the gags, or the sheer bonkers story.

It's a crazy film, but I enjoyed it.

7/10.
