Despite a decent premise, this whole show comes across as forced and underwhelming. The auction sequences are cringeworthy. The banter between presenters is weak with no chemistry. The quick and dirty 'restorations' on the road are sometimes laughable. It patronises the public participants. It wholly lacks the empathy and real enthusiasm of Flog It's Paul Martin and hasn't got the snobbery of Antiques "of course I could never sell it" Roadshow.
Most disturbingly, there's no real explanation of how the auctions are run, I suspect two or carefully placed dealers and the rest are just roped in locals. The auctions have no excitement or genuine feel at all. Is there any commission being charged?

OK, full disclosure, I baled before the movie was ten minutes in.
The CGI is cringeworthy. The rover rolls its wheels straight through boulders. The gaseous alien is pixellated. The characters are straight out of a (bad) school drama assignment. The set dressing is as thin as tissue. The dialogue is painful.
The plot is wafer thin. The rover is broken. Only one man can repair it. He's in jail. He's a genius with the mental capacity of a cardboard box. He can learn to be an astronaut in 12 hours, from a guy who you wouldn't trust to punch the code into a carwash.
Seriously, if the rest of the movie is as bad as what I saw, it has stolen the crown from Plan 9 From Outer Space.
I need a lie down.
