This movie is an attempt to give a realistic portrayal of an extravagant space voyage. Instead of the usual small shuttle, we have a very large station.
It may have been a good idea. But no one will ever know, unless it gets another edit. This is because the production value is probably the worst ever.
I'm reminded of my days in a studio for free public access, and speaking with the technicians there. The common joke was "sound people don't know what the Hell they're doing." And here is a prime example.
The director painstakingly tries for realism, and he gives a realistic look, but the cost is too great. You can't understand a word that is spoken in this poor sound environment. True, that's how NASA sounds on the TV set, but that's why few people bother to watch real live NASA space coverage, because it is impossible to know what people are saying.
And anyone who avers that he or she does understand the dialog is a liar. Fact.
I watched the show, but still have no idea what was ever going on. None of the actors could enunciate, and that is suspicious. Either they were poorly selected, or the sound crew was the worst ever. Since none of the actors were intelligible, that makes the sound crew look almost certainly to be the guilty party.
The attempt for realism gave it an atmosphere of reality. This is what the director obviously intended, and the director was successful.
Too bad you need a scorecard to follow along with what is happening. It is a poorly produced movie.
