Hole lotta love

Rating: 3/10 (15 March 2020)

I like space epics 2001, Silent Running and even Dune. This film starts up on Earth. The world can't sustain crops for whatever reason, we've trashed the planet and our only hope is to go out into space and find a substitute.
Magically a farmer who was part of the supposedly defunct space programme stumbles across an underground NASA mission to the stars. And just happens to be the perfect candidate to pilot a rendevouz reconnaissance expedition. Via a recently emerged worm hole.
After travelling through the hole they need to rationalise their meet-ups, to use their resources wisely. We then get a wee dram of ridiculous drama. Followed by some interdimensional shenanigans. The end.
However, dialogue is crass and pathetic. The crew has no chemistry. 'Coop' the pilot is only paletable later on when he finally shuts his mouth. It starts in an intriguing fashion, and then just gets stupid. The weird space time transend is okay. All in all - absolute rot.
2001 or Contact is way more preferential to this film. As others have said it's basically a greatest hits of other sci-fi flicks. There's nothing new here whatsover, and it's no homage or beautiful retelling. I had been looking forward to this, but can firmly say, don't waste your time.
