This movie would have been a great movie if it weren't for the worst monsters ever. The monsters were human test subjects that looked like the turned into super snapping turtles. The back and forth chapters were interesting because it gave you more knowledge into Sy's story, and it showed why he was there on Osiris. The main reason this movie gets a 5 instead of an 8 or 9 is because of the "plot twist" at the end. Sy gets attacked by the monster and starts to transform into one, but he ask Indi to give him something sharp to kill himself. She doesn't do it, and it cuts to another backstory in Sy's life. This was my favorite part because it showed why he was in prison, and that he was good loving man who lost his family but made a very wrong decision. Then the bad part happens. After the planet had been wiped clean, two explorers search the planet to find indi and creature that turns out to be Sy... really? Sy turned into one of the crazy monster soccer who had been killing people the entire movie? But instead of being crazy, he is guard dog for Indi... should've let him die or survive. One or the other. I still hate how terrible the monsters were. Made the movie so much less interesting.

The ending was super cheesy and not written well, mostly the child's lines, but overall it was enjoyable. It looked good and was acted well enough

Rating this movie higher than a six is just nonsense. Okay they did a decent job considering the budget but it's not that good that you will remember it. At least I won't. The CGI are not bad and that's already something. The acting could definitely be better. There are just too much have-you-see-me characters that makes it sometimes boring. The story is just okay but really nothing you never saw before. I'm sure you saw much better movies with the same theme. I am a big sci-fi fan. It's one of my favorite genre of movies. But The Osiris Child won't make it in my top ten, not even my top twenty. But it's fine to watch once I guess.

Quite interesting and solid story line, very good acting and surprisingly convincing CGI. If not for the way monsters look and few other technological flops it would have been an excellent movie. Totally underrated (especially when compared to latest revision of Alien)!
