Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt's mentioned in passing that the spaceship used in the movie is a cycler. A Mars Cycler is a real-life project to reach Mars using mainly gravity assist flybys, originally proposed by astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Once the booster has docked with the cycler there's no way to turn around and go back to Earth since the cycler has very little propellant on board, mostly for minor course corrections. This explains why the captain cannot abort the mission once they discover the stowaway.
- GoofsA coronal mass ejection (solar "storm") would not arrive suddenly or without advance warning. Solar observations by spacecraft and from the ground give days of warning. The charged particles themselves are too small to be seen, though some do penetrate the eyes and produce visible flashes as observed during the Apollo missions to the moon. The ethereal green vapors shown are total fiction.
- Quotes
Zoe Levenson: You never know where life's gonna take you. Yes, I applied to the HARP program because I thought it would be a funny story to be rejected by Hyperion. But now I realize this is one of those rare opportunities that could truly give my life meaning beyond anything I could imagine.

Featured review
I had big expectations of this movie. SF Thriller with great actors and amazing visuals, and short description sounded quite interesting. With that budget and great acting team, and strong visuals, how could it go wrong? Well, it did. Problem is it didn't go anywhere. Story, especially mystery thriller was non-existent, characters had no background and were bland and one-dimensional, so much wasted potential. I gave it 5 starts for visuals and acting but actors could do so much with bad story and bad script.
Problem is, there is no mystery, at least, not explained mystery, not even searching. They opened with interesting event then just closed with open ending which, at least to me, made no sense. And I felt like I watched nice trailer or commercial, almost 2 hours long. As for SF part, there are a lot problems in scientific inconsistencies and errors and so many things that made no sense or bear no logic. So much money invested in research that was so poorly planned and was not resistant to one single error. Some things just don't happen, especially not in high profile, super-expensive missions. This movie expects us to suspend our disbelief too much.
So in short, no real thriller or mystery, sf failed a lot on science part, too many illogical things, characters undefined and flat. And I was really waiting for this movie!
