Movie okay, story not okay

Rating: 4/10 (18 February 2020)

Touching on the idea of solitude doesn't make for an automatic romantic situation, especially when the spark was a morally irresponsible decision. No amount of pretty music can make up for how this story sets its foundation. If the viewer can get past that one little aspect -- for me a very big, critical aspect -- they might be able to enjoy the movie for its other qualities. I for one, could not avail myself of that bad taste in my mouth right from the get go, no matter how persistent the music tried to make me think otherwise.
The plot is simple, but the actors did a real good job in making it believable. The man finds himself stranded on a ship bound for a distant planet, the intent of the journey being colonization. There are other people, but they are all asleep. He woke up too early to find there is still 90 years to go before reaching the destination. He opts to wake one of the passengers for companionship, and thus the romance begins.
