To the stars, “Are we alone in the universe?” “If so, what does that mean for us?”
Standard sci-fi space mission stuff. Runs very slowly with overemphasized emotions at every little setback.
Some slow, indistinctive music. There is an Experimental Music score by Max Richter in most of the background; at least it is not a tinkling piano or s-c-r-a-p-i-n-g violin.
“I must accept the fact. I never really knew you.”
“Or am I you…”
More than half the movie is setting you up for what should be the real action.
Well, maybe not.
Do not try to pull the movie apart on a technical basis (not even a sci-fi basis) or you will miss the story with all the awful sets, mediocre acting, and stilted writing.
You came this far, so do not forget to watch again with the audio commentary by James Gray (Co-Writer and Director). We get what they are trying to do with the movie; this includes philosophy, technology, and references to other weird films. There are shades of Joseph Campbell’s “Hero's Journey.” He even mentions Campbell’s “Meeting with the Goddess” and “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.”
After watching with the voice-over, has your opinion changed?
What! Do you want a sequel?
