Very well executed

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

First, this is menial budget movie . . . All the bad reviewers were more used to high budget fancy space genre movies. Ignore such reviews.Second, the plot of the movie runs on the lines of meta-physical monologue of the protagonist., which is quintessentially the very fundamental element of this genre. In most high-budget movies, to cater the broader audience, this element is generally faded out romance elements, human conflicts, moral paradoxes. Not in this. This strictly confined to meta-physical aspects of existentialism one faces when they are alone and divorced off the world. I could have given 10, but I am disappointed by the ending. Wish, there is more philosophical monologue in the end. That's the only disappointment of this film. In the beginning, the plot seems way too cliche. Please understand, its just setting stage for the character. If you could push through the part and involve meditative with the character, trust me, its a beautiful movie. Give it a try with your heart . . . It won't disappoint.

A very mind - blowing movie about space, gives you some self emotions, makes you feel good, alone. Great acting, science and story line. Now to the unrealistic part. There are no sun explosions between Earth and Mars, not at all. There could be a sun explosion when we leave this Solar System by a long of light - years. With such a short distance from Earth to Mars there is no way there could be a sun explosions, unless it was our sun, which would have exploded the whole Solar System.

The film amounts to a one man monologue audio book. It is a character study of astronaut engineer William D. Stanaforth (Mark Strong) who has different ideas about life and seems to not like Earth. While the film is made to look scientifically credible, it is not, nor is it meant to be. It is about man and his relationship with the universe, atoms, and life as seen through the eyes of one man, who I thought was a bit messed up with his own ego and misguided determination. But hey, where would we be without guys like this? Safe and sound in our own homes? Of course if everything went well on the mission, your film would be boring...so they might just as well had everything go correctly. There was a message to the film, which I missed, most likely because my own ego and misguided determination wanted me to.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.Note to self: If you got one guy in a script, give him personality.

Whatever moments of logic were in this film could not save me from a fate worse than boredom. Drop a few hints of "just maybe there's a purpose to this whole thing" and, like the sci-fi sucker that I am, I stuck with it until the end...and felt betrayed.I did not notice that the film was written -and- directed by the same individual, Mark Elijah Rosenberg. My experience has been that, most of the time, such a production is more of the writer/director playing with himself than accomplishing anything productive or having value (except, perhaps, in his own mind).Mark Elijah Rosenberg - remember that name. That will allow you to avoid making the mistake I did and watching anything of his ever again. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll go back to doing something productive...like measuring drapes.
