n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

First, this is menial budget movie . . . All the bad reviewers were more used to high budget fancy space genre movies. Ignore such reviews.Second, the plot of the movie runs on the lines of meta-physical monologue of the protagonist., which is quintessentially the very fundamental element of this genre. In most high-budget movies, to cater the broader audience, this element is generally faded out romance elements, human conflicts, moral paradoxes. Not in this. This strictly confined to meta-physical aspects of existentialism one faces when they are alone and divorced off the world. I could have given 10, but I am disappointed by the ending. Wish, there is more philosophical monologue in the end. That's the only disappointment of this film. In the beginning, the plot seems way too cliche. Please understand, its just setting stage for the character. If you could push through the part and involve meditative with the character, trust me, its a beautiful movie. Give it a try with your heart . . . It won't disappoint.

I thought it was a parody. Don't waste your time, the movie can't be more awful!

The film amounts to a one man monologue audio book. It is a character study of astronaut engineer William D. Stanaforth (Mark Strong) who has different ideas about life and seems to not like Earth. While the film is made to look scientifically credible, it is not, nor is it meant to be. It is about man and his relationship with the universe, atoms, and life as seen through the eyes of one man, who I thought was a bit messed up with his own ego and misguided determination. But hey, where would we be without guys like this? Safe and sound in our own homes? Of course if everything went well on the mission, your film would be boring...so they might just as well had everything go correctly. There was a message to the film, which I missed, most likely because my own ego and misguided determination wanted me to.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.Note to self: If you got one guy in a script, give him personality.

Awful, poorly constructed snooze-fest. I like sci-fi, but this was just horrible. Honestly, Netflix, you put any rubbish online. Buffer out your library to make it look larger you evil pigs. Please don't waste your time folks, it drags on and on and gets you nowhere. The mistake I made was so bad I had to write a review. Maybe help some other poor unsuspecting soul with a couple of hours to kill. Don't kill it on this!!!!
