Seriously? This junk really won awards? It's not even a movie. More like a crappy CGI test demo where nothing exciting happens the whole way through. The only thing I remember is Clooney trying to hit on Bullock. Fail.

"...where nothing exciting happens the whole way through"
Did you lose consciousness during the movie?

Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?
Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.

@masoudhaghi Beyond the handwaive that they're studying the effects of human life in space, I don't think it'd make more sense to have the replicas in space. Aaron Paul's character is shown having trouble with his grip in the opening scenes. You'd want those sort of problems to be happening in the lower stakes personal life on earth instead of on the high-stakes mission if you're in charge.
