Just perfect...

Crappy film

An absolute waste of money

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

It tries to be philosophical, but falls short with unoriginal ideas and an overly melancholic monologue throughout the movie.It tries to showcase intense emotional and existential themes as seen well done in "Moon", but fails to achieve this between bad writing, bad directing and on some parts really bad acting. (I'm looking at you Luke Wilson)Lastly.. It tries to base the whole premise on a scientific breakthrough, yet none of the actual elements of science seem at all plausible or sane in the context of a mission to mars.I mean, disregarding the heaps of uninformative science-lingo, the fact that they are sending one man, alone, with what seems to be a basically unverified method of producing water, letting him work on it IN FLIGHT, and expecting him to (once again, ALONE!) start a Martian colony... is just a maddeningly non-scientific way of doing it.And what's the deal with his name... Stanaforth?! That's where you tried to be original?!

This was a complete waste of time. Sure the actor is great, but literally everything else about this movie sucks. There is no drama, no real story, no suspense, no real effects - nothing. Its such a waste on so many levels. I feel like it could have been somethjing, but then the writers gave up or someone ran out of money or whatever. Wow its bad. Do not waste you time - its garbage.

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.
