An enjoyable B movie with a great ending

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2017)

I went in to see this film without any expectations, and was pleasantly surprised. While certainly not a masterpiece, it is still an enjoyable ride with a few surprises. The film has good technical aspects great great visual and an effective soundtrack. The plot is a little week and predictable at times, but the good direction and editing still generate some intense moments. Acting wise, it only qualifies as competent.
I won't recount the plot, since many other reviews have done so already. However I feel the need to touch upon the ending and I thought it was the single brilliant moment in the movie.

Many people are confused about the ending as to why the both escape pods went in the wrong direction. The logical answer is that the space agency added a hidden 4th firewall after the fail-safe on the 3rd firewall (the ISS). The 4th firewall would be the escape pods. Before the start of the mission, both escape pods were secretly rigged to go into space instead of earth. These 6 scientists were never meant to be rescued in such catastrophic events. David disengaged the autopilot, and reversed the direction of his pod, thus ended back on earth. Miranda did nothing, and ended up drifting into deep space. She was screaming in her pod in the end because at certain point she realized what happened, and understood what her bosses had doomed all them from the start. In short, humanity self-destructed due its distrust in itself.
