An elderly woman, say three hundred forty two years old!, wants to make a trip back to the Earth of her ancestors, and is willing to pay big. The operators of the Dream Weaver would not have been interested if the potential payday had not been worth five years salary - "We're not ripping anyone off. We're weaving dreams"!
The premise of the story sounded interesting, but then it introduced elements of fantasy in which one of the operators of the Dream Weaver appeared to have flashbacks that coincided with the old woman's (Geraldine Chaplin) memories. Because Earth no longer existed due to some cosmic catastrophe, the senior pilot (Benedict Wong) plotted a course for an Earth-like planet, and headed straight for Emphor 3. Successfully navigating through massive turbulence and surviving their depletion of oxygen, Brian Norton (Jack Reynor) and Irma Gordon (Chaplin) suddenly encounter a newly turned hospitable planet. The ending for me suggested an Adam and Eve type situation in which the pair would undertake the re-population of a once dead world, much in the same vein as the Twilight Zone episode titled 'Two', which kicked off the third season of that series almost six decades earlier.
One observation regarding Ms. Gordon's android bodyguard - didn't the expression on his face remind you of the Tin Man from "The Wizard of OZ"?
