One of my all time favorites.

Better Late Then Never

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The problem with a science fiction movie/show based off human drama, is that on a mission of earth shattering importance, the crew are almost entirely antagonistic whiny incompetents, who have no business being responsible for a trillion dollar spaceship. Quite early on it becomes obvious that the captain, who is the final decision maker on anything important, is of dangerously low intelligence, and would not be capable of managing an ice cream truck, let alone a 'world saving' space mission. I think real astronauts would find this movie insulting. But the visuals are nice.

Well, did Fox asked Arthur C. Clark (oh, because is no longer with us, rest in peace!) to make this movie? Because instead of HAL we have a Jean and so on except the story base. And this kind of boring documentary type and journal kind of movie it's not really digestible... The act is interesting, landscape and images are great but, that's it... And who send a bunch of people at those early ages in spaces? With a budget of 200 bill dollars I couldn't send people who swear and fight every time... I thought that a cosmonaut or someone who was sent in this kind of journey is more serious and can deal with own fears and is disciplined and so on... This scenario was write with legs , sort of speak in my country... So, to cut the criticism, the scenario it's very bad, it has a lot of influences from every SF book and movie that guy read and seen and no scientific background. Very bad movie...

Obviously if you care enough to do both of those things, then it doesn't matter if you like it or not, just that you DID watch it. A good TV show does not require millions of people that love the show. A good TV show requires millions of people that WATCH the TV show. It's all about whether people watch or not, that's where the ad revenue comes from. As for Mr. Snippity "What I would do if I was going to send out astronauts" Guy:'1 Make sure all of them are capable of walking. 2 Make sure none of them want to kill themselves. 3 Make sure none of them have dead children. 4 Make sure none of them are having an affair. 5 Make sure none of them are argumentitive. 6 Make sure whoever cooks is actuallyany good at it. 7 Make sure any of them are likable. 8 Make sure none of them have mental issues that come with having been raped. 9 Make sure none of them have Parkinsons.'Obviously you didn't watch the show--the entire point is that it is sponsored by a company who is sending these people out and putting them through this stuff for RATINGS. To make MONEY. People who are good at everything, who are completely normal, healthy, and good natured, and who have never had anything bad happen to them? They don't make for interesting characters. People who have conflict are interesting--which they actually bring up IN the show. Good job, sir, you have made a fool of yourself.

I thought that the characters were very well developed--though a cheesy plot, the story more or less centers itself around peer interaction. The "mockumentary" type interviews are scripted amazingly. The only issue that I find is in killing off the commander right away. He's the character that you develop the most interest for, and can relate to. But in this first episode he dies, leaving out 75% of the psychoticness that this title intended to portray. Assuming, however, that this is the only episode EVER, then killing off the commander doesn't really matter. His death brings very little to that "edge of your seat" feeling and, more or less, alludes to the fact everyone on that ship is now screwed. nothing more to add
