    Stranded is no blockbuster, but it manages to pass the time better than most of them have done in this summer of discontent.

    The actors work hard to make us feel their fear of a creature that, for much of the movie, we don’t get to see. We don’t really need to see it, because we’ve seen it or something like it before.

    Another blandly competent, thoroughly forgettable low-budget sci-fier assembled from the stray parts of other, better movies.

    Stranded stops at being merely seriously dull and trite, rather than tipping into train-wreck silliness.

    A no-budget "Alien" ripoff with little reason to exist beyond the few creature-effects shots its design team now can add to its reel, Roger Christian's Stranded might leave viewers yearning for the director's "Battlefield Earth" -- a film that, terrible though it was, at least couldn't be accused of a lack of ambition.

    Stranded isn’t a for-the-ages howler—just a terminally stupid, monotonously unimaginative rehash of umpteen space-horror classics.

    Trite dialogue, stock characters, and bad-to-middling special effects make Stranded more tedious than scary or nerve-wracking.

    Stranded is basically a made-for-TV SyFy original movie with a bigger budget and an actor you might recognize. It's bad, but perhaps not quite bad enough to watch ironically or enjoy for its cheese factor. I even have a soft spot for poorly made horror movies, but this one just left me bored. The dialogue is weak and the plot is uninspired, with the forgettable crew making traditional horror-movie mistakes and generally not acting like the military personnel/astronauts they're supposed to be. The location is your cliche poorly lit space station that's conveniently large enough for people to wander off alone.
    I can't recommend this movie as anything other than a last resort in order waste 90 minutes, because that's pretty much what it is.
