Awful
I have never felt compelled to write a review before, but having sat through the best part of this film, I thought I should.
I think it tries to follow Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, in as much as it's quiet, there's little dialogue, and it's set maily inside a spaceship with folks talking to the computer.
Unfortunately, nothing happens. They have to re-ignite the sun, but we're not sure why, and to be honest, I wasn't really bothered if they did or not.
The most interesting aspect was trying to remember in which other films you saw the actors.
My advice would be to hire something else...anything else. -

[Highly rated reviewer]
Particularly poor I'm afraid.
Very good visuals, but that's about it.
Why was there so much dust on the icarus I when there was only one permanently totally scarred person living on it?
Why don't they have a back-up for anything? Computers, airlocks, space suits etc.
Lots of holes and I nearly walked out. I love sci-fi, but not this I'm afraid. -
