A science fiction movie that keeps you guessing about what is real, what isn’t… and keeps you wondering about what the difference is. It was a little slow at times, and some of the characters were annoying non-forthcoming about their motivations. But, the story at the heart of the movie was worth pondering, and it was acted well; if you’re given a chance to redeem part of your past by living a fiction, do you do it? or move on?
That said, there were a few things that were simply not answered. Why did the one guy kill himself? (or was he killed?), and what exactly happened to the “commandos” who boarded the ship? I think they could have handled the “situation”, and certainly would have communicated back Earth about what was going on. Also, we’re left with the impression that there were once many people on the ship. So, what happened to them? Better yet, what happened to their “companions”? We see the little boy, but one must assume that the rest of them had companions too.
