Laurence Fishburne and Emily Beecham co-star in director Mikael Håfström’s story of three spacemen on a dangerous mission to the far side of the solar system.
“In space, no one can hear you scream… your girlfriend’s name,” would be a good tagline for, a psychological sci-fi thriller about an astronaut suffering major romantic withdrawal during a voyage to Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.and directed by Mikael Håfström, the film plays at times as both an intimate, low-key riff on Christopher Nolan’s.
It’s fairly boilerplate material, and Håfström frankly seems more interested in exploring John’s memories, nightmares, visions and wavering psyche. Like in his Stephen King adaptation,, about a man who goes crazy in a hotel room, the director has a knack for placing unreliable narrators in tight spaces that ultimately spell their doom. If you put aside all the space stuff,is basically a one-set, one-character thriller that constantly tests the viewer’s belief in what’s happening.
At the start of the film, a generic female voice — that of the machine — warns John that the drugs which induce hibernation can have some side effects. From then on, the name of the game seems to be questioning if we’re actually witnessing those side effects or reality itself. By the timeIt’s enough to keep the viewer guessing until the very last shot, and even beyond that. But it’s also thin ice to stand on.
