Goofs
At one point, Zoe (Emily Beecham), says to John, (Casey Affleck) something to the effect of "And you were flying F-14's..." Assuming this film is set in the somewhat near future, and the fact that John attended the U.S. Air Force Academy, John would not be flying F-14's as that is a Naval aircraft AND hasn't been in the U.S. Naval inventory since 2006.

More Solaris than Star Wars

Slingshot is primarily a psychological drama, which happens to be set in a Science Fiction universe. But anyone going to this movie hoping for a space actioner or some space opera will leave very disappointed.

In a twisty turny narrative that could have been shortened by 15 or 20 minutes without losing any impact, the three lead actors give outstanding performances, but there is a lot of repetition, and the middle third of the film really drags.

At the same time, it certainly keeps you thinking, and the ending is extremely gripping and tense.

This is not a film at the same level as Space Odyssey, Or Solaris. But if you have a brain and you want to be provoked into thinking about the nature of love and humanity faced by existential crises this is not a bad movie at all.
