Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

albion16 Dane Cook. This movie sucks.Also, Dane Cook is in it. Why would you waste your time?

JohnAU1965 Seriously, how anyone can think that this juvenile attempt at cinema has any redeeming features is quite beyond me.The movie is that vague, disjointed and has such a 'really?' ending that some reviewers seem to want to add their own interpretations into the storyline. If this is 'experimental' cinema, it's a failed experiment the like of which we've never seen. Alchemy or the fountain of youth are more believable premises that this utter waste of time.Dan Cook, in particular, cements himself as a B-movie hack, playing the role of a knuckle-headed Neaderthal who somehow got picked for astronaut training. Of all the clichéd characters in the thing, his is the worst and hearkens back to the dreary days of the 70s and 80s. Equally so, I'm guessing the sets were bought at a straight to video 80s film yard sale such is their 'authenticity'.Trust me, believe the 1 or 2 star reviews. The comparisons to 'Moon' are apt. This is just as poorly composed and trite. As for those giving anything beyond 2 stars without some excuse should have to sit through another bout of this cinematic diaohrrea.

mr-philhenderson I was willing to put up with 89 minutes of the low-budget quality of this 'film' just so I could see what apocalyptic calamity had befallen the earth during the crew's 400 days. In the last minute the director and the rest of the incompetents implicated in this pathetic attempt at storytelling just gave up and left the viewer with a whole lot of nothing when we would have taken almost anything. Nothing endings only work well if crafted by skilled storytellers. Inception had a great nothing ending. For his sake, I hope this director just ran out of money – at least that would be a reason which would compute. You're not being 'cool' 'edgy' or 'neat' by ending it this way. Netflix even got in on the scam by claiming in the description that the crew weren't sure if the 400 day test might actually be real. This was never the illusion they were dealing with. Anyway, I guess I'm the fool for not checking here for reviews first. Fooled me once...

mcnaquin-21021 I enjoyed the movie. IMO, decently acted, decent amount of suspense, a decent story in there with some imagination and suspended disbelief, and therefore it was ... a DECENT movie. If you like SyFy as much as I do, it is fair to say it was a decent PLUS movie. It was not a wasted 90 minutes of my life but it did not make me excited for a sequel either. So I decided to write a review telling you just that.. it was decent. As I wrote the review I liked the movie more and more. So if you really like SyFy please watch. I think you might be pleasantly surprised. The following "review" has some complementary viewing tips and hints for your increased viewing pleasure-- I hope.But first my two negatives... I agree completely with almost everyone else's reviews regarding the fact that none of these four people would EVER qualify for space travel with Disney let alone a manned mission longer than a 10 minute ride (Disneyland/World style ride remember). It is also a corporation not NASA so in reality a Disneyland analogy is better and more viable. Sorry Supes... You lost your mission status to travel to DisneySpace 2 minutes into the movie. Just suspend your disbelief on that one folks can't help you there.My second negative is that they all seemed to get very stupid at the end. Annoyingly stupid. "OMfg... As If... Seriously people?!?!"Now my "analysis"It was not as good a movie as it could have been because it was attempting to have a flat affect as an overall tone. Unless flat affect was truly INTENTIONAL. It had to be. This is a SyFy movie, they are not known for subtlety. So I incorporated that flat affect into my personal "do it yourself" ending-- as a hint (I won't tell you precisely what I think the ending was most likely just some ideas and hints for your perspective pleasure). Step one: Apply whatever level of intent to the affect of the movie in your analysis and as you watch the movie.I wouldn't want you to not watch because I spoiled it by giving you a possible ending-- so the rest of what I say will be less direct.Step two: Do not be too harsh. I am mainly writing this review because I think people in the reviews seemed to be expecting something they shouldn't from a SyFy movie and therefore are being a little more harsh than I WAS. Remember I enjoyed the movie. I want you to enjoy it too.Step three: Try not to get annoyed with the ending. Try not to assume everything is a trope or cliché.After I got done being annoyed about the ending. I thought about the way the story WAS told and decided NOT to assume it is was just a bunch of tropes and clichés. Then I decided I did really like the ending. I also ended up liking the movie more after some thought. Even further liking it more as time went and I wrote this long freaking review.Step four: Consider the four main characters together and apart. I may be giving it way too much credit but I think that the way the four main characters were handled was on purpose and you were not meant to see too deeply into any one particular character-- EXCEPT.Step five: Unless you try not to let it-- the ending will blow your mind and not in a good way. So withhold gnashing your teeth until you at least try to re-frame your interpretation of the movie and characters. Which is what I think those "open endings" are meant to do. Make you rethink everything. To that end.. I offer these final two hints for your consideration. As far as endings there are really only two maybe three truly possible "meta-endings" (multiverse not withstanding). If you use the hints below as a basis point.Hint one: either all four did lose their minds OR the two that were NOT having hallucinations did NOT lose their minds. Kind of difficult for everyone to lose their minds with a cross section of four relatively healthy fit young adults. Except for during very severe oxygen deprivation, not everyone is going to have severe symptoms. My understanding is they all had increasingly sustained and also slowly reduced O2 levels over time. Realistically the final scenes are not really something you can "hallucinate" further it is even less likely to be a shared hallucination, especially on that scale. +++ Spoiler +++If you parse the last few minutes out you will also realize... In all probability the message that plays at "end" or if you would prefer the first second of their 401 day is an automated message. Especially since this executive likes his briefings at 10:00 am. I also seriously doubt they would be cheering at least two deaths of the "team" (mission or control) should it have been an elaborate scenario.So if you use my "analysis" it boils down to just a few basic possible endings. I have my two favorite options. I will leave you to figure your endings out for yourself.Understand I love all types of SyFy movies. So I would recommend watching it if you just like SyFy movies enough to suspend "reality" for a DECENT movie, with decent acting, story, suspense, and a pretty decent do it yourself ending.
