A new genre is born: un-sci-fi or vague philosophical drivel for the masses

Rating: 3/10 (29 November 2014)

Initially, this movie was an interesting approach to a well-worn plot... Environmental disaster causes colonization in space... The dust bowl setting was convincing and we wanted to sympathize with the engineer turned farmer and his family. A series of bizarre occurrences lead to a dash to save the world as we know it... And all science from the sci fi deserts us about halfway in... Apparently it's now sufficient to use a few familiar phrases... Relativity, wormhole, Gravity, space time continuum... Without actually tying any of it to a remotely possible set of scenarios... Where psychic connections, love conquers all and a little morse code suspend all science or reality and the good guys miraculously survive and conquer.
