I don't understand the poor ratings. I thought this movie was quite good. It looked in the beginning like a clone of The Martian but it was not that at all. I thought the main cast was very good and the story kept you interested. Worth the watch.

Where The Martisn focused on the astronaut, this movie was very much about the activities on earth (without forgetting the astronaut). It showed commercial shenanigans to make money and politicians using the stranded astronaut for political gain. In the midst of this, you had dedicated staff truly trying to save the stranded astronaut only to be continually frustrated by those who did not care. It had a gritty realism and then also some mysteries on Mars.

I think I've just been a witness to the worst movie ever made.

I won't waste much of my time with this review, but you should expect: bad acting, ridiculous plots, cheap philosophy just because and a nonsense ending.

It's not even funny or entertaining. An eighty something minute movie that feels like a 3 hour nightmare. Boring and ridiculous.

Don't waste your time.

Total failure, the film is about nothing, without a storyline, without any meaning

First off, I am a fan of Russian cinema. Films like Solaris and Salyut 7 are great! So I started watching this some time back, but saw it as a blatant rip-off of The Martian and turned it off after maybe 15-20 minutes. Then I saw a quick blurb online and decided the watch the entire thing.

Pretty disappointing. As others have said here, it's an obvious knock off of several other movies. The mouthy, flamboyant TV guy is exactly the same as in The Fifth Element, and every bit as annoying. About halfway through the movie, I'm starting to think that this is all a parody (satire) and not intended to be serious. Sadly, it is not. This is meant to be a serious movie, and in that it fails.

It tries to be political, and fails. It tries to make a statement... and fails. It succeeds in visuals, which are quite good. The leading characters are good, but they can't carry the whole movie. The sad part is, this had all the elements to make a very good movie.. but just doesn't know to "do" with them. If you are desperate for a sci fi fix.. it'll do. Just don't expect too much..

The movie is not a mere story about an astronaut left on Mars. It's more about politics and money that become more important than a human life. This story is totally opposite to "The Martian",
