Don't waste you're time or money on this awful pointless sorry ass movie that tricks you thinking it will be as good as the martian.

Just awful. They send a mentally unfit man into space on a one way ticket to mars. Things break and he fails to fix and report them. Probably the worst movie I've seen in the last couple of years

Very disappointing. The plot is very hopeless and depressing because any problem that comes by he doesn't really fix very well and just sits there not doing much. Most of the movie is made up of pointless scenes that don't advance the plotVery disappointing.

Most of the movie is made up of pointless scenes that don't advance the plot and are very boring. The guy also makes lots of bad desicions. I don't recommend this movie.… Expand

Dull, annoying, idiotic, rip off of "The martian", meh plot. This movie just ain't my thing. It was supposed to be cool but it's not. A huge disappointment definitely won't go to see it again.

Probably the worst space movie I have ever sit through. Who wrote this? An 8 year old? I could have lived withe the cheesy effects, if they had only gotten the science right. You always have multiple backup systems in space. He hadProbably the worst space movie I have ever sit through. Who wrote this? An 8 year old? I could have lived withe the cheesy effects, if they had only gotten the science right. You always have multiple backup systems in space. He had enough water to stand leisurely under a shower, but no backup water? What about recycling water from urine? Two words: Orbital Mechanics. You cannot stop a spacecraft halfway to its target and start it up again. Their is not enough fuel. If they had to abort the mission, he still would of had to go all the way to Mars, orbit it and come home. The inside of his ship was about twice as big as the outside. The spacesuit at the end looked like a dollar store Halloween costume with oven mitts.… Expand

More of a study of a man in isolation and what's going through his mind. The story of his flying to Mars to begin colonization is murky at best. Why have this expensive spaceship and send one person? Why is there a second spaceshipMore of a study of a man in isolation and what's going through his mind. The story of his flying to Mars to begin colonization is murky at best. Why have this expensive spaceship and send one person? Why is there a second spaceship following him? What's he going to do once he gets there? Unsatisfying; a good premise to start the movie but it doesn't go anywhere after that.… Expand

Strong performance by Mark Strong. Some points were slow though. Honestly there isn't that much there for a movie. It isn't great but it was enjoyable at points.
