Where and when would you be allowed to smoke on a space craft / station. Ooh the oxygen is on rations, well let's all smoke and waste the little we have. Everyone smoked. By my calculations for a 10yr mission they would have had to have crates of cigs in yr luggage. I couldn't get past it. Even in the future you wouldn't have an astronaut who smoked. Much less a whole crew.

I for one am getting sick and tired of movies being produced that you are missing half of what's going on because you can't see. I made it about 3/4 of the way through this but I was so annoyed by the darkness that I gave up.

I will give it a average score for some decent commendable performance by the actors. Some deep space travellers get stranded in space after Earth mysteriously vaporises. Though having a cliched storyline in the the similar vein of movies like Sunshine ( 2007) and Event Horizon (1996), the suspense is decently maintained throughout the duration of the film. Well , do not just go in expecting Ridley" scott's Alien and u will be fine.

Despite the flawed first half, the second half picks u some juice . Overall could have been a better movie if there was better set design and production values. The special effects and props so are reminiscent of the 1990s that u will feel a dash of nostalgia . The story could have been better as the element of unpredictability is missing. The film falls flat in its script, plays more like family drama in space. My only gripe is that there is not enough Scifi-ness going on as u would find in movies in this genre.

(Flash Review)

Five years into a ten year mission four people are stationed at a space station named Pangea and dealing with the mental effects the distant isolation. When something unexpectedly terrible happens to Earth, will that destabilize their already fragile mental states or will they rally together to make it to an outpost planet named Europa? This had an appropriately gloomy and dank atmosphere to echo their mental condition; perhaps a bit much for a critical space station? Why is the space station so grimy, dark and grungy? Why are the characters chain smoking? Please don't fall into the Prometheus zone with idiotic characters! Ha! There are a few intriguing events that occur, perhaps not enough even to sustain the 90 minute run-time but the longer this film went the more interest I lost as the story intrigue gets a bit more amateurish. It did a nice job hiding it's small budget. It's worth a viewing.

Brilliant premise for a film BUT. Even with some robust parts, these mofos are smoking and complaining about life support failing... is it 1950?!
