Survivor is a 2014 science fiction action film directed by John Lyde. The story follows Kate Mitra (Danielle Chuchran), a member of a spacefaring expedition seeking a new habitable planet after Earth’s decline. The crew crash-lands on a seemingly hospitable world, only to discover it is inhabited by hostile creatures and other unforeseen dangers. Kevin Sorbo co-stars as Captain Hunter, the leader of the mission.

The film has received predominantly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of 8% based on 52 reviews, with an average rating of 3.65/10. The consensus states: “Borrowing heavily from better films in service of a predictable story, Survivor will struggle to sustain the interest of even the most avid action thriller fans.”

Audience reviews echo similar sentiments. One viewer commented: “Wow, this was the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time, yet it was oddly entertaining. There are some laugh-out-loud moments—unintentional, I assure you.”

Critics have pointed out the film’s lack of originality and weak execution. The AU Review noted: “This is the next bad sci-fi that you need to see. Critics have spurned it as ‘the science fiction that even science fiction fans won’t like’.”

In summary, Survivor (2014) attempts to deliver a sci-fi adventure but falls short due to its derivative plot and subpar execution. While it may offer some unintentional entertainment, it is generally not well-regarded within the genre.
