Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt's mentioned in passing that the spaceship used in the movie is a cycler. A Mars Cycler is a real-life project to reach Mars using mainly gravity assist flybys, originally proposed by astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Once the booster has docked with the cycler there's no way to turn around and go back to Earth since the cycler has very little propellant on board, mostly for minor course corrections. This explains why the captain cannot abort the mission once they discover the stowaway.
- GoofsA coronal mass ejection (solar "storm") would not arrive suddenly or without advance warning. Solar observations by spacecraft and from the ground give days of warning. The charged particles themselves are too small to be seen, though some do penetrate the eyes and produce visible flashes as observed during the Apollo missions to the moon. The ethereal green vapors shown are total fiction.
- Quotes
Zoe Levenson: You never know where life's gonna take you. Yes, I applied to the HARP program because I thought it would be a funny story to be rejected by Hyperion. But now I realize this is one of those rare opportunities that could truly give my life meaning beyond anything I could imagine.

Featured review
The main problem with this movie is that it just feels really dull. There is one character in the movie that gets some form of characterisation and actually allows for you to care for them, however, the other 3 have almost no characterisation making it practically impossible to care for them as much as the movie makes you want to. The cinematography and acting is fine, but nothing great, however the direction feels a bit bland. You never really get any sense of tension or stakes and this is worsened by the dull characters. There are several moments I thought the movie could do something unique or clever, but instead it just went along with a plain, almost predictable plot. You can't say you've never seen a movie like this, with several others doing much better. I can't say I hated the movie but it just wasn't anything special.
