Such a frustrating disappointment

Expected more

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Somehow this movie doesn't make any sense, but it does. It kept me guessing... kept me saying to myself, what the **** is going on? Huh? What? I literally had nightmares the next morning. It's weirder than ****. I loved the fast-cut pacing. It was confusing but the writer/director didn't bother to explain what was going on, just left me racing to catch up. I appreciated that because I'm rather sick of the big budget films that feel they have to spell out everything that's happening to everyone watching the movie. I thought it was a cool campy sci-fi movie worth watching.

This movie may be a good first time effort for the director, but it does almost everything wrong. The story can't decide what it's about, the characters are thinly sketched and inconsistent, the effects from tolerable to embarrassing, and the sets and locations looked almost exactly like a 70s Doctor Who or Star Trek effort. There is sometimes a decent atmosphere and some camera work is effective. But it's the muddled story which often makes no sense, that killed it for me. It's not that is was too complex, it's simply that scenes, and even individual dialog lines, didn't connect to each other in any way.I think possibly if you watched it slightly drunk and with the sound off, it could seem like an amusing diversion, because of some effective images - mostly skies with planets and ships. But trying to follow it like a proper movie just leads to disappointment.

If you like Sci Fi and you can still appreciate smaller productions, despite being spoiled by the excess of big budgets, then you will like this movie. Having said this, the production in this movie is great. After the introduction the story slowly develops, everything about the movie picks up a lot in the second half, it becomes intriguing after a Kafka-esque twist and it really becomes an enjoyable watch.With regards to previous reviews - Expressions involving space time belong to everything in the universe not just 'Interstellar the movie', the reference is unnecessary sigh, also the movie isn't totally focused on this theme at all. I would be more concerned with how certain other themes and concepts are unimaginatively explored to death in other movies over the last 100 years. Enjoy this movie on its on merits!

Pretty terrible low budget sci-fi movie - whomever wrote better than Interstellar obviously makes money from you watching this movies - go watch Interstellar twice instead of watching this movie, the only comparison I can make of this movie to Interstellar is that it is unwatchable compared to Interstellar.Effects - Terrible. Acting - Mediocre. Storyline - Poor.There are a lot of choices out there, most are better!Please don't ever compare this to Interstellar!This movie contains no unique ideas, some very low budget special effects, maybe 2 actors that can act, the rest are really low quality, so many holes in the story it is ridiculous! I made it through the whole movie just to wish I had turned it off after 10 minutes!
