Don P Sep 10 Just because you're an accomplished effects guy, Mr. Dullul, doesn't mean you know a great story, which a great movie needs of course, when you read one. And it doesn't qualify you to direct a great movie. It was confusing and then flopped after Mack died.

Most of the movie is about Ms. Sackhoff talking to a robot or a confederate. No wow factor, no spark. See more Joseph A 12/10/2024 The only redeeming quality is Katee Sackhoff. See more P G 10/04/2024 There is one women working in a secret, hi-tech underground bunker, there is an A.I. with an attitude and a face/fist, there is the mysterious lost mission to Mars. Is the A.I. artificial or alien? Did it invent itself? Did it discover, cover-up, or is it related to the mysterious object on Mars? What's with the creepy, overbearing, all-business sister? Why with all of this advanced technology, including instantaneous communication to Mars, can't they have a clear video call? Sound confusing? That's because it is. This is one of those movies where the big reveal at the end is supposed to be profound, which it somewhat is, but it makes the rest of the story not make any sense at all. This movie has been compared to "2001: A Space Odyssey" because it is very derivative of 2001. The difference is that 2001, although a little weird at the end, was based on a solid ground-breaking novel by the great Arthur C. Clarke, and this movie is not. It shows. ~ PG February 2019 See more Hall O @lahrda 02/02/2024 Strong performance by Katie Sackhoff. The movie is, essentially, a theatre play, all taking place within a mission control lab. One can then forgive the pretty lousy CGI: it is not the point. The movie grapples with the tension between humanity and A.I., and is, in many ways, remarkably forward looking. The "alien influence" is rather superfluous: the story would have been better, dropping it. Much remains unresolved, so after a somewhat surprising twist ( and it is a good one ), it all dissolves into some philosophical babble at the end, which is meant to sound deep, but is pretty vacuous. So, good promise of a story, and I don't mind the cheap production, but it could have been thought through better. It leaves a bit of an empty feeling in the end.

It's like someone watched '2001: A Space Odyssey', thought 'I can do that cheaper and worse', and, well, succeeded. This film is an unforgettable experience, mainly because you'll spend 90 minutes, knowing you'll ever get that time back. See more Read all reviews
