Gorgeously conceptualised and executed. ( )

A rather good story with some intriguing character moments and relatively decent twists, but the pacing is not very good, especially in the middle of the film. It being slow in the beginning is mostly a good thing, as it sets the mood and premise up well, but once the protagonist finds the surviving astronaut, the film would have benefited a lot from harsher editing. This keeps it from four stars with me, but it's otherwise a highly enjoyable yarn. ( )

A small team maintains power facilities on a ruined, emptied Earth.

It's real science fiction, and that is a rare and precious thing. Despite everything that's wrong with it (and there is a LOT wrong with it), I have say it's good. It fails in most regards when it comes to being a movie. But when it comes to being science fiction, the most important thing is to be worth talking about - to raise questions and interesting ideas that are worth analyzing and discussing. And as far as that goes, it absolutely succeeds. Just don't make me watch it a second time.
