A Typical Sci Fi Movie With Emphasis

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2019)

18 March 2017. Visually on the spaceship, one could be reminded of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) including a phone call, Alien (1979) and hibernation chambers, and even a robot from The First Spaceship on Venus (1960). Unfortunately there are no real interesting twists one might expect and the sci fi script plays more like a toned down Gravity (2013) with a relationship angle. What makes this sci fi movie a bit better than the average outer space adventure is the personal character development and moral dilemma that was given good screen time. Even so the American nature of romantic drama abounds in this movie. Entertaining, though slow at times, and could have been better. The ending scene, however, was a nice touch and almost redeemed the movie.
