So, far too much time is spent getting to the plot twist. Once it's revealed, the movie plods on to a second plot twist. As some have said, 25 minutes is sufficient to tell this story.
And to the author of the "Sleepy Astronaut" review, if you want to review a film, at least watch it in its entirety so you don't embarrass yourself by missing the important plot twist.
Let me start by saying the lead image of the fancy robot is a laugh.
The special effects were bad but could have been a lot worse. It actually had them which is more then I can say for some movies. So do not watch this movie for the effects.
I watch this movie some time ago and forgot how it ended so I ended up watching it again. It actually kept my attention for the 80min+. You just want to see what is going to happen next.
I like the way it ended. Very thought provoking.

I loved this movie. Judging by the artwork I expected a dumb movie that I could just have a have a drink, watch, criticize and and go to bed. I was pleasantly surprised by the believable graphics, (most sci-fi films over due it and it ends up looking plastic and fake) the amazing plot and eeriness of it. I value authenticity in sci-fi films and this film has it all. Definitely a thinking mans's movie. The only thing I would criticize is the artwork, (they were clearly trying to sell it as something other than what it was and that alone is the closest I come to understanding why it has such low ratings) and lastly the ending could have been a little more complete.
It was very apparent that this film had almost no budget. Only one astronaut for critical mission? I guess that saves a few bucks in actor salaries. But the real downfall for this film was the mismatched tone of the score and cinematography to what was actually happening to the character/story. There were many places where the character was experiencing one emotion, yet the score set the exact opposite mood. The same with the cinematography. (Jump cuts when character is experiencing long bouts tedium?)
Another problem was the unrealistic dialogue. For example, at one point the main character is suppose to give a report back to mission control, but he sounds more like an eighth grader than a highly trained professional.
The robotic special effects were great though. It appeared that they used actual robots (not CGI) for the majority of the robots in the film, and they were able to convey some personality for the robots. Also, the acting by the main character was well done, even though he had very few lines of poor dialogue.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this film unless you really like robot movies and don't mind exercising your suspension-of-disbelief muscles.
Triggers: violence - guns, lasers, bombs, war; graphic depiction of cadavers.

The basic idea of the movie is an interesting one but everything else is terrible. There's a huge lack of dialogue/monologue and I might have been OK with that if it wasn't for the annoying cinematography and boring story. Most of the movie is shaky as if it was shot by a cell phone in the hands of someone with multiple sclerosis.
The premise is interesting except they give away the 'big secret' halfway through. The one and only human character is really slow with figuring things out, leaving viewers to sit through the rest of it wishing they could smack him.
If you have young children who don't want to go to sleep at night, this might do the trick.
