Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsAt one point, Zoe (Emily Beecham), says to John, (Casey Affleck) something to the effect of "And you were flying F-14's..." Assuming this film is set in the somewhat near future, and the fact that John attended the U.S. Air Force Academy, John would not be flying F-14's as that is a Naval aircraft AND hasn't been in the U.S. Naval inventory since 2006.

Featured review
A psychological thriller that tried to make a lot from a little.
Anytime you have a movie in which you learn almost immediately that the protagonist has been subjected to a hibernation-inducing drug (here Casey Affleck) that can cause "confusion and/or memory disturbances" - and there are MULTIPLE "hibernations" - from thence on it really becomes a guessing game what's real, what's not real, who's imaginary, who not, and from what point did the "false reality" start. And this movie had ALL those elements.
And then when you get a drip drip drip of flashbacks you realize there's so much that you can't possibly know, the "what's really going on" is virtually unguessable.
The ship itself was too generic to be special. There are no shots of the ship from the exterior (we later learn why), the acting was adequate but nothing special, there was not very much action except for a few struggles for a gun, no spacewalks, really no twists "within the false reality" - so I didn't find a lot to be impressed about.
His romantic interest Zoe (Emily Beecham) was adorable and truly likable but of course you're wondering throughout the movie whether she's even real or did she die at some point.
It did seem perplexing that when there was a critical uncertainty whether the hull had been damaged or breached they didn't consider a spacewalk to perform a visual inspection. I mean ... that alone would determine if they continue or abort the entire mission.
Also, at the end, when Affleck has to make the critical decision whether this is all real or a false reality a la Total Recall (open the airlock), he seemingly could have put on a spacesuit with a tether "just in case."
For these reasons I'm rating the movie a "6" - just above an average "5".
