The full cast of supporting crew members (particularly Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo and Amy Seimetz) all play their parts –no matter how long or short– fantastically well, and are believable in their emotions and motivations.īut it’s Fassbender’s character –David, the almost-human mechanoid– that had me puzzled throughout most of the film, and at times, I wasn’t quite sure if his story was deep and moving or just confusing and vaguely faux-poetic. Oram (Billy Crudup) and Tennessee (Danny McBride) are also fantastic in their roles, though potentially interesting plot threads surrounding Oram’s faith are sadly left unanswered during the course of the film. Daniels (Katherine Waterston) is a fantastic leading space lady, and I wish that the film had allowed us more time with her.
