Audience Member Not bad. Pacing was a little slower, but it wasn't meant to be a adrenaline rush. I really thought they'd have a fade to black scene 🤣 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I believe the only way this movie received any positive reviews is the critics were drunk/high and the rest were on the cast/crew. This movie is horrible beyond belief. The story is predictable and the overlay animation is ghastly as well as migraine inducing. Just a totally awful waste of time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Mark Duplass is the only reason I kept watching for his sure wittiness, but this new graphic style of a romantic comedy in space is really weird, but interesting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Took me two viewings to really get the movie, but now one of my favorites. Good fun all over. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member With a 1 1/2 star rating, it probably seems like I hated every second of the film. But that's not true. I was highly aggravated because it's such a good idea ruined by a horrible writer. The direction is good and the animation works, but in the end, what was the point? I liked that he had no gravity on the ship throughout the film. Good call. So the man obviously did some research. But I didn't like that his characters seemed to have no place in this film. It would make sense if it was satirical, but what is it satirizing? Everyone is just so laid back and apathetic, but I didn't know why. Perhaps he was saying people as a whole were turning into jerks who didn't really care about anything anymore, but he had no reference to go off of. Casey Cook had been working hard her whole life to be able to go to Mars one day, and this is finally her dream come true. But everything is taken so lightly by her. I just never fully believed her, mainly because she seemed more interested in her new relationship than with her finally getting to live her dream. Then you have Charlie who doesn't seem smart enough in any sense to be on that ship (or old enough). And the director set the film just 5 years after it came out. It's set in 2015, and we have a redneck president (an old Bush joke, I'm guessing, from when he first wrote it), a person at NASA who doesn't really care about the safety of the crew, and a television crew who like to point out how bored they are by the story. Can Marslett please point out why he decided to have everything like this? Couldn't he make one line that states that this is what he sees from the upcoming generation to take over things? Marslett also uses things just because it works for the moment, such as the Casey asking Charlie to swim, and when she gets in he doesn't join and she gets offended and walks away. Everything is so sudden. He never takes his time. Even in the beginning she refuses to shake his hand and make things better after he apologizes for offending her, then the next scene she's happy and flirty with him. Just like that. It's just so frustrating because a mumblecore that's also sci-fi that's also a cartoon is such a good idea. And when you have Mark Duplass you gotta let him do his thing, but you also have to give him a line that makes him fit in the situation. The movie might be entertaining in parts and have it's moments, but without any true motivation it just falls flat on its face. It's a shame, really.
