An American sci-fi adventure. A story about an astronaut who has to make a three-year journey home to Earth, cutting short the first manned mission to explore the moons of Jupiter. This is a low-budget film with an interesting premise about solitude which offers a modicum of intrigue. It foregoes special effects and aims to create the sense of isolation and boredom and mental wellbeing of an astronaut on a deep space mission. To a degree it succeeds, but it dwells on the boredom of the astronaut so much that there are too many blank frames and scenes which feel like overkill. Indeed, it is in the moments that feel like inaction that the inaccuracies and inconsistencies with the space capsule design and the conditions of habitation to the more discerning eye are highlighted. The astronaut characters were not convincing as suitable personalities for deep space endurance; showing contrast between the two personalities was not done with much subtlety. Similarly, some of the ground staff were at odds with the professionalism we know of highly technical aeronautical flight direction staff. The film ends with a weak excuse for a plot twist which may be unsatisfying for some. Though it is thought-provoking, it leaves some unanswered questions. Khary Payton does a reasonably good job of portraying a man near breaking point. There is a spectacular scene showing Venus's atmosphere. The film's sound effects and music add a lot to the story's mood and tone.
