Existentialism in space

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2016)

The movie has received rather poor professional reviews which claim that the concept is superficial and the romance misogynistic. For me, the movie was excellent study on what makes us human; the social relationships or the idea of right and wrong. It is about the choices we make when forced into an absurd and profoundly hopeless situation. It is about the fear of death,both the fear of empty and meaningless life and the fear of immediate death. Of course there is a romance plot, but for me, the movie had a strange existentialist feeling that touched me deeply. The movie is highly underrated as most reviewers see it as a shallow and strange "date movie". The movie is shot in a beautiful and breathtaking way, the actors were excellent and the slow pace is justified: It gives you time to think. What would you do in the situation? What would be your choice? I recommend this philosophical movie disguised as a romance for everybody who are ready to challenge the opinion of professional reviewers.
