Prospect
Loved this movie. Low budget, but a better story than most. Made me think of some of the old SF magazines.
An extraterrestrial environment composed primarily of terrestrial vegetation was disappointing at first, but I got around to accepting Olympic Peninsula rainforest as invasive plant species from Earth (like kudzu in the southeastern US).
Pascal was great as a hardened but charismatic opportunist with a taste for florid language, and Thatcher (his complete opposite in all respects) powered through adolescent terror and uncertainty with a very convincing performance.
