Dean S. @DeanDFW Dec 27 Cliff hanger of an ending: slow burn would be the best way to describe it. See more C C Dec 27 A lean, intense tale of interplanetary travel and first contact. Like the main character, viewers are invited to open their minds to possibilities and continue on. Highly recommended. See more Eric S. @ericw Aug 7 Agree with titan u. I love these indie minimalist set films that focus on character and story. Some may find it claustrophobic but the expansion is in your mind and your imagination, not the sets and tight camera shots. See more titan u May 13 This is a film for people with imaginations and curiosity, and it delivers in spades. See more Patrick S May 8 For a low budget, independent movie of this scope it is a tiny gem, and yes, there are many references to other such movies, just like "2001: A Space Odyssey", "2010: The Year We Make Contact", "Solaris", "Sphere" and indeed somehow, being the successor, to "Interstellar". Some say that the main character is devoid of emotions or feelings. Well, considering that an astronaut of this kind, sent out all by himself into deep space, must have been quite heavily trained to adapt to a solitary space trip, there is no wonder on why he seems to be emotionless. He is not. He just knows how to control his emotions. The entire movie starts to grip your interest once in space, and from then on it is indeed a very well knit story, despite some key references to other sources. But it is indeed interesting to watch how nevertheless this film manages to cope with all of them without being an exact duplicate. In my view, although the special and visual effects are just what they are for a low budget flic like this one, it is the storyline and the reduced cast that hold it all together. The only pity is its ending which surely would deserve either a sequel or a streaming miniseries, since it did leave open what happens next. I hope someone of good will and enough means may come on board to rescue this concept and bring it to an end as it certainly deserves. I can recommended this movie, although as I said, it sometimes reminds you to the above mentioned ones without really being leading into the same direction. I would call it a science fiction/mystery/psychological adventure movie. Just give it a try. In any case much better than the trash Hollywood dishes up these days, and less costly. See more Laura-ann B Mar 30 Give this story a remake on a bigger budget. It has such great potential. The fact that such a low budget production, with so many scientific errors that could have been avoided, actually kept my attention for almost 2h says alot. There's something there.
