Before explaining why I liked this movie, I'd like to point out that the main idea of the movie is NOT that you need find your purpose to have a happy life. It's the exact opposite! I'm not saying this just to be a professor, but because it's really important and that's why I loved the film so much. You don't need to be fixated about something to find a meaning in your life. You need to savour it and learn to enjoy the little moments instead of waiting for something big to happen to reach happiness. It's so profound and refreshing. A movie just about a guy waiting for his big moment and feeling fulfilled after having reached it would have been dull, boring, trite and most of all wrong, like pretty much all "self-help" advices.
Instead the opposite idea is presented and if you just pay attention to the dialogues -and the story, really- you'll understand what I mean and most importantly what you might apply to make your everyday life better.
But back to the movie I've got to say I almost cried as the end was approaching as much as I was going to turn off the tv when the movie started. The whole initial setting reminded me too much of Inside Out, a film I quite disliked, so I was worried it was a copy of it (it kind of is in the beginning). But luckily the second half steered away from it and developed in one of the most moving film I've seen in a long time. Undoubtedly one of Pixar's best.

im a big fan of RE and love the actors but ... 0 hope for this show

Surprisingly good. This was by far the best Low Budget movie I have seen in a long time. It actually had a good ending which most movie lack now a days.

This is a very disappointing show. From the outset the premise is fantastic, a journey to Mars! Imagine the thrills and drama involved in such a story! it should be no trouble, right?

Wrong (apparently!) The characters in this production are so overburdened with dramatic personal events and so lacking in the stoic behaviour we recognise in real life astronauts that you rapidly lose interest in them as characters and then lose interest in the whole premise.

No issue is to small in this production that it cannot needlessly be blown into a full on crisis with emotionally unstable characters who couldn't be trusted to sit the right way on a toilet, let alone land on Mars.

I can only assume the reason this crew was sent 'Away' was in the reverent hope they would stay there!

SFX is good though!

Below average quality drama which just happens to be in space. I don't like this type of drama. It tries to work towards feel good moments but it feels unnatural and artificial, and I'm asuming that cycle of feel good feel bad will be repeated throughout the show. I won't know cause I'm stopping after 2 episodes. It's shallow and stupid. I feel like I wasted precious time I could have spend watching something else.
And it's not realistic at all, which I feel like it's trying to be.

I'm pretty sure they have procedures for everything up there and the commander won't take impulsive actions when she has an actual expert in the field right next to her. And even if she did I'm sure there will be an issue with that commander. And I'm sure the psychologist or whoever that was wouldn't encourage her by telling her she did the right thing cause she tried to save her colleagues. I mean, again, it's dumb drama.
And there's no way austronauts would even start that journey with so much hostility. It just seems impossible.

Terrible... stopped watching somewhere in the middle I don't even remember... good movies are super hard to find these days

And that, kids, is how you make vegan propaganda.

Edit: And by that I mean that I wanted to see an experiment but they clearly were biased towards methods, data, results, etc.

It showed a side of Anna Frank that I never seen or heard about before. The movie made her look like she was a selfish attention seeking thief and a horrible friend.
Hannah Goslar saw Anna as her best friend it almost felt like she was inlove or obsessed with Anna.
Anna was her world and thought about her all the time, she stayed loyal to her till the end! This while Anna chose attention from boys and popularity above Hannah.

Why did I decide to watch it? I liked the premise. And I like some of Soderbergh's movies (but not all).

Baseline score: 6

Watchability. Will I ever watch it again?
-1 I seriously doubt it

Emotions. What did I feel?
0 Nothing special. It definitely was not scary.

Characters. Was there someone I was rooting for?
0 No

Story. Did I like it?
0 As I've said I liked the premise. But the premise was "is she crasy or not". And that question was answered almost immediately. And then there was no mistery. Instead we got a psycho and a rotten system.

Picture. Was it beautiful?
0 Nothing special

Music. Do I remember it? Do I want to buy the soundtrack?
0 No

Final score: 5

Not remotely compelling. Impossible to care about the fate of any of the characters. Way too long. Nudity and foul language aplenty are a transparent attempt to appear edgy. Much of the dialogue seems to think it's so deep and so profound, but it's utter nonsense. The final third in particular enters silly video game territory removing any semblance of investment in the story that somehow could have scraped through.

So tired of Piper. Why is she still the main character? So many other characters have better storylines.

Despite the sucky ending and the illogical plot, this isn't a bad effort. If it had a better conclusion I might have given it a better score.

Conceptually good, with some neat special effects that belie the low budget. However, the acting kinda sucked, and the script wasn't that hot. It felt like a pilot for a tv show at times, which while not a bad thing, certainly isn't what I expected after the rave reviews on this page.
