If you expect the discovery or Nat Geo type of format, this one will confuse you. It's a million light years away in spirit.
It's a tale turned to mystery and beauty, celebrating exploration. More poetic than scientific, the film explores more why we want to go to Mars than how (which has been explained over and over again in many other docs.)
The excitement here comes from the mind-blowing beauty of two worlds, and a tiny crew of humans trying to make a bridge between.
You will learn more about what makes us go out there than what's out there. Despite the lack of the usual human drama we expect to get in these real-life adventure docs, we feel close enough to the crew and confined with them to feel immersed and part of the crew.
What is most striking is the back and forth Arctic/Mars, a journey within the journey. I understand why this film is so praised by space community. As for me, the ethereal feel made it all. Fascinating.
