Simple story, exotic setting
Explores the personal strengths and weaknesses of 5 astronauts and 1 earth bound scientist. The astronauts are returning to earth from a successful mission to study a human-friendly planet, a newly discovered moon of Jupiter. The scientist is credited with promoting the possibilities of life on the new astronomical entity. While the movie takes place in the future, it is primarily about what drives individuals to be who they are. Revelations about each of the individuals are presented in simple terms, presented with little subtlety as they each confront unexpected challenges. A beautifully told saga, in its own way.
