Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2017)

Breathtaking visuals are not enough to entertain or satisfy this viewer, watched on a 50 inch plasma monitor via bluray. Certainly the visuals would have been that much more impressive but I did not feel the story, slight as it was, provided the two attractive leads much to do.
I would have expected any space travel to use the best automated systems available. Jim waking up to a crewless transport should not have come as a surprise to him. What is surprising is how he and Aurora should cope with the crisis or crises that threaten not only their existence, but also their 5,000 fellow passengers (whom we never see, other than those rows of hibernation pods.
Much better storytelling with considerably lower budgets and better scripts are out there (eg. SILENT RUNNING).
Thanks for reading, and keep watching the skies!
