Approaching the Unknown

Hideous

I was amazed to find so many bad reviews on here when the film was amazing. It really showed us an interesting take on what space travel will be like in the future. Sorry for the bad reviews but there was no laser fights or alien invasions which I am sure would have given us 5 reviews from many. Instead it was vision of a near future where a man is undaunted by everything telling him to turn around and he'll bent on finishing his mission.

Can tell it's not a 100 million budget movie, but kept me interested the whole time. A little psychedelic without being unrealistic.

A man, alone, traversing space to broaden humanity’s horizon once more with a reactor to create water from soil…a great set-up, but the movie then careens into the void with bizarre night-flight visuals, a canned space-opera soundtrack, a complete disregard of physics, and a descent into philosophies better-examined in other films. Lots of staring into the distance. Lots of pointed questions left unanswered. Really, you can almost TASTE the disappointment.

Truly a boring movie. Bad on all levels. Don't waste a minute of time on this.

This film was so tedious, dull and boring, I could almost feel my vitality being sucked away. I could go into the various plot holes and whatnot but just thinking about this movie makes me tired. Spoiler alert: the most exciting thing in this film is an electric spark.

I love small independent movies. I love the sci fi genre. I hope and waited for something to happen in this movie.scare me, thril me, entertain me. Nothing ever does! It is a long monotone diatribe of nothingness. It was one of those movies that you keep hoping something will hapen. When the movie ends, is the only satisfying part of the movie.

Politically correct P O S

Unfortunately not even Mark Strong can save this. In fact the whole film feels very indulgent for him to perform some pseudo-intellectial brooding performance. The main character is meant to be offering some unique philosophical persepective - yet due to his own arrogance and stupidity screws up his journey to Mars. And with Luke Wilson representing Nasa from a desk that looks nothing like the genuine Mission Control, this very much feels like student film writing on a student film budger. Wouldn't recommend or watch again.

I guess if you know absolutely nothing about space flight, the laws of physics, engineering or just plain common sense this might be entertaining. But, this was really just that bad. I love the actor and I love sci-fi but the story is pointless.
