Julius Onah directs Daniel Brühl, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Chris O’Dowd in this space station finds itself in another dimension sci-fi thriller. 

Jack Ryan. The Mummy. Cloverfield. Franchises that coddle you in their eternal averageness. You’ll occasionally get a seven (Clear and Present Danger, 10 Cloverfield Lane) but you’ll never risk a disaster. Watchable, cruise control entertainment. This reality hopping Ten Little Indians has no design on being the next Alien, merely being satisfied aiming for the fairway ahead of Life or The Europa Report. And for the most part this is forgettable fun… the cast is mature, attractive and personable… there’s no flash Ryan Reynolds or Rebecca Fergusons coming with their movie star baggage and their guessable from the credits order life expectancies. And while it doesn’t pursue them to hard sci-fi levels of mind expansion, the hi-jinks that occur onboard are pleasingly comic book surreal. Once the survivors find themselves in an alternate reality that wants to cancel out the aberrations and adds a few new crew members to the mix the fun and games are pretty playful. Arms disappear into solid walls! Protein worms rehouse themselves into a host! A pool of water hits the freezing temperatures of the infinite abyss! The Final Destination style deaths are pretty, pretty neat. Only the hastily reshot scenes to shunt this into the Cloverfield Universe jar. On the whole this is the modern day equivalent of a direct to video treat.
