The weaponry in the film is just normal looking guns, that we see in every action movie set in modern times, just with a bit more sci-fi sound design. The same goes for the aliens, who look like normal people wearing evil looking Halloween costumes. You can just tell that there wasn’t nearly enough budget to tell this story properly, so we often get to see blurred looks at the aliens to hide the fact that they look really fake. Cosmic Sin Official Trailerīruce Willis and Frank Grillo star in the new epic sci-fi adventure set in the year 2524, four hundred years after humans started colonizing the outer planets. Retired Military General James Ford (Willis) is called back into service after soldiers on a remote planet are attacked by a hostile alien fleet. The threat against the human race escalates into an inevitable interstellar war. General Ford teams up with General Eron Ryle (Grillo) and a team of elite soldiers in a race to stop the imminent attack before it is too late. (Paramount Movies)Ĭosmic Sin is Rated R for language including some sexual references and violence and will hit theatres and VOD on March 12, 2021. It was co-written and directed by Edward Blake and stars: Bruce Willis, Frank Grillo and Brandon Thomas Lee. What do you guys think? Are you planning to watch Cosmic Sin? Have you seen it already, if so how did you like it? Let’s discuss everything in the comments down below and on our Twitter.Worst of all, “Cosmic Sin” isn’t even a bad B-movie in an interesting way. The pacing is sluggish, the script is crammed with both incomprehensible technical gobbledygook and lazy, sexist jokes, and the visual effects are laughably cheesy. My kid could make a more dazzling space movie on his iPad.Īt the center of this bland mess is Willis-once again collecting a paycheck-as James Ford, a disgraced but once-revered military leader. He’s called back into duty for the tried-and-true “one last job” with the discovery of a new alien civilization on another planet. (According to the movie’s mythology, humans begin colonizing other planets in the 2100s. Something to look forward to during these long days when we’re cooped up at home.) But they may not be friendly aliens. Cosmic Sin is set in the year 2524, a time when humans have founded colonies on distant planets. They may also be … zombies? And yet, the depiction of zombie aliens isn’t as gloriously deranged as one would hope.Īmong Willis’ co-stars are Frank Grillo as a bad-ass general, naturally Brandon Thomas Lee, son of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, as his trigger-happy son a wisecracking Costas Mandylor Adelaide Kane as the mousy mechanic who’s saddled with the most wordy, explanatory jargon and Perrey Reeves as an even-tempered scientist who has some vague romantic history with Ford. The top entertainment stories, features and must-read reviews sent to you weekly. They have so little chemistry and their flirty banter is so tepid, though, that this subplot goes nowhere. "Cosmic Sin" co-writer Large also gives himself some of the worst dialogue of all between his hokey one-liners and leering come-ons.Īfter a brief ethical debate, they determine that they must obliterate the zombie aliens with a generic-sounding device called a Q-bomb (which, for some reason, features an old-fashioned, red digital countdown display).
Ford and his team quantum leap to the woodsy planet of Ellora (which looks a lot like the forest moon of Endor from the “ Star Wars” universe) to take out these creatures before they can come to Earth and kill all of humanity. So “Cosmic Sin” may also be a parable about … genocide? It’s all so half-baked, it’s hard to know. Interminable gunfire and a droning score take the place of actual suspense.
Also lacking in substance are the helmets and body armor the space travelers wear to hop from one planet to another. They look more like spray-painted slabs of Styrofoam, strapped together with Velcro, with a few lights and reflective pads stuck onto them.
