I'll be honest, this movie exceeded my expectations. I never know what to expect when I watch a movie I've never heard of or know the actors. It's always a complete unknown. But I just got drawn into this whole concept the movie explored. Like, honestly, 10 stars for the idea, and 10 stars for the effort. Digging around online for some backstory on this film this was pretty much made for nothing, and it holds its own against films I've seen Hollywood produce for 100 million dollars.
And the music, my word, just beautiful. Had to look it up afterward and saw it had a soundtrack on all the music platforms. Immediately downloaded it. I've listened to the main theme several times now.
So why am I giving it 7 stars and not 10? Because this is a real review. It's not Interstellar. A film like Interstellar in my mind is a 10/10 movie. But it had the budget to become that. This film was lacking a 100-million-dollar budget to showcase the other worlds. And that's really not a knock on the film, the crew, the actors, they just didn't have it, they didn't have any budget, and yet they still found ways around it to make it a powerful story. They also didn't try to duct tape fake buttons on fake spaceship, etc, they somehow just seamlessly got around it all to where it was believable. And I loved that about this movie. They didn't try to do what they couldn't do. They did what they "could do" and they did a really good job.
At minimum go google the soundtrack. Just beautiful.
