I stumbled across this film via Spewing Truth in The Face of Lies, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's what I affectionately refer to as "hard" sci-fi, in the vein of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar, and Moon. No space battles, no laser swordfights, no retina-searing special effects.
The only thing about the story I find a little off is I find it very hard to believe NASA would send a single astronaut on a mission of this import and duration. Other than that, the acting, sets, and storyline were well worth the running time. A few reviews berated the ending; the movie failed to explain exactly what the message was that the spheres were sending us, but at the same time the ending left things open for a sequel—something that after seeing this film I would wholeheartedly welcome.
Lastly, I don't know if it was the escapism or simply being allowed to step away from the shit show that is our current existence or something more, but it actually gave me hope for our future as a species.
I asked Glenn about this, he was the one that looked it up this morning. He said he was telling me that we saw 'MOON' in 2010, we have not seen Magellan. Now we will watch it. Thanks,
We checked our movie viewing history and we saw this movie in 2010. We log all our viewed shows and review. We gave it a high rating. BTW, we just started watching, first episodes, Westworld this past two months, love it.
You must have a time machine. The movie only came out last year. ?
