I'm not a space specialist but I've seen a lot of good films about the conquest of space and this one seemed to me to be a pastiche of a hundred different space films, most of them mediocre, to reach the absolute nothing. A supposed emotional discourse, without emotion, a result without transcendence and above all zero originality. The film 2010 (not to mention the great legends of the genre that it doesn't even touch) contains itself in one minute more accuracy about the trips to space that is in all this footage. Moon vehicles that run at over 100 kilometers per hour! Raising dust on their trajectory! People falling from a space station (initial antenna scene) to Earth by parachute! Astronauts moving through space and going from one ship to another unattached and without the aid of devices and landing exactly where they wanted to go! What a complete nonsense. Why would they do this? Who are they trying to fool?
If there is a movie I would like to erase from the space travel genre, this is the first one on the list.
I end up with the feeling that I have wasted my time and that I am wasting it now by writing this.
