Bit of an odd duck this. This movie could very well have been a radio play without losing much of the end result. The set design (for as much as there is a set) brings back memories of high-school shop class, Lighting is hit and miss, and during the movie the main character looks blue, pink and 'human colored' every other scene. Same goes for sound, which (for the main character) goes from 'great' to ' speaking into a tin can'. The story itself is engaging enough if you can get past the rest of the movie. That story is told by exposition-style monologues from the main character, fixed dead center in your screen at all times, supplemented by forced-feeling adlibbing and further expositioning by the characters on the radio. Not all actors hide that they are reading their lines from a script very well, so the whole of the movie feels a bit homemade because of it. If you like exposition and filling in the blanks yourself, this might be for you. For the rest of us: Skip this one unless you have nothing else to watch.

Might have worked as a radio play but as a film is is pretty awful. Most of the £100 budget must have been spent on building the escape pod. Why does Marcus sound like a Northerner and his millionaire dad sound southern? Anyway, it is badly written, acting is mediocre and the the plot average at best. The voice actors sound totally unprofessional which only adds to the amateur feel of the whole production. Unfortunately it looks and feels like a media student production. I cant imagine why it was released, more likely it escaped, much like the pod at the centre of the storyline. Waste of time and money.

Should have seen the red flags as soon as I noticed the "black box" prop is made of a foam back roller. Then the epipen being used completely wrong with the needle effect was the icing on the cake. Started cracking up with "Swindon Space Control". The northern accents made it a feel even lower budget than it already was. Also the romancey vibe with Sarah was cringey and completely unnecessary. Couldn't watch to the end.

Worth putting on if you're having trouble sleeping.
