A movie of tremendous integrity—and also, by design, extremely tough viewing. Go to Full Review

the film remains equivocal as to whether Roger's outer-space excursion is an audacious endeavour in the service of earthly affairs, or an irresponsible evasion of them. Go to Full Review

richard O @RT20407479 20h Was pretty good thought provocation. Limited effects which as refreshing. As a story it was good. Likeñy for people beyond being impressed by cgi and explosions. Cheers See more John S. @jes1112 Apr 9 Has about the sci-fi sophistication of a 1960s Lost in Space episode. Low budget film about a reckless and careless mission commander. I’m only surprised he didn’t taste the space samples, or start juggling them. See more Dean S. @DeanDFW Dec 27 Cliff hanger of an ending: slow burn would be the best way to describe it. See more C C @RT43964924 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 @RT50880152 05/13/2025 This is a film for people with imaginations and curiosity, and it delivers in spades. See more Read all reviews
