Review

a thought-provoking, dreamy, experiential film cut from the cloth of 2001: a space odyssey and twilight zone. foremost i suppose it’s about survival. the purpose of their journey to the sun is to preserve human life on earth and so everything within the film revolves around this theme. i honestly don’t know what the larger purpose of the film is – perhaps it’s simply a meditation on the fact that life finds a way to survive despite all obstacles. or maybe it’s an homage to the sci-fi film that seems lost in today’s cinema. i couldn’t honestly say, but i can recommend the film for those who don’t mind some uncertainty in their films.
