This film cannot decide whether it wishes to be a psychological study of loneliness (or just aloneness) and what drives people from other people, a classic "man against insurmountable obstacles" drama, or old fashioned cowboy/hero flic. In dong so, it achieves none.
Low budget is no excuse for dozens if not hundreds of perfectly avoidable factual errors and plot holes (then again, one of the main plot drivers is itself a giant factual error with attending plot holes). Goofs section here does not do this film justice - cringeworthy elements just pile on one another. For example, if it was too much trouble to learn typical callouts during a launch, the correct ones could have been gleaned in ten minutes by watching a video of any real one. Internet is chock full of conceptual designs for plausible interplanetary vessels with centrifugal artificial gravity, which the one in the film was not. Etc.
The film sometimes feels like a patchwork or elements lifted from far more successful works, and cobbled together into a incoherent, boring mess.
