Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Hellraiser: Judgment (2017) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
So let’s get straight into this review, my first response Hellraiser Judgment sounds very familiar then it hit me, the film reminds me of Seven with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman but with the Pinhead and some Cenobites that have been thrown into the mix almost like a Seven vs Hellraiser movie.
As we’ve come to expect from the Hellraiser franchise there is plenty of those gory, blood-soaked, scenes that can make the stomach turn as well as some other uneasy scenes that make you look away, look out for the “cleansing” scene that’s one that had me heaving!

Drama film? Yep. Science Fiction? Possibly (probably).
But don't be thinking 'Star Wars', 'Star Trek' or even '2001: A Space Odyssey' - if anything, the closest correlation I can come up with is 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'
Which might seem a bit odd, but consider: the bulk of this is set in an around a psychiatric hospital, where Kevin Spacey's main character Prot resides after claiming he is from the planet K-Pax, and after being arrested almost immediately after arriving in a train station at the start of the movie.
Jeff Bridges psychiatrist - who, initially, doesn't believe him (well, let's face it: would you?) then sets about uncovering the truth of Prot, digging into his (Prot's) past and uncovering some disturbing revelations.
So, yeah, a bit of an odd one, that largely relies on the charisma of it's two main lead actors.

While - of necessity - a large part of the screen time is devoted to Watney and his time alone on the planet, the film (and book) also cuts between his colleagues on the spacecraft home (and how they react once they find out he is alive), and various NASA personnel, most of whom are only given the broad strokes of characterisations
As a Ridley Scott film, you know you're going to get impressive visuals and world building (it's one of the things he excels at), while Damon actually proves surprisingly well cast as Watney. I don't remember the final section of the film being in the book though ...
