Captain William D. Stanaforth (Mark Strong) is on a one-way solo mission, taking humanity's first steps toward colonizing Mars. Although the entire world is watching him, he is completely alone in a dark and distant sea of stars. Stanaforth rockets bravely through space facing insurmountable odds, but as the journey takes a toll on his life-sustaining systems, he is forced to make impossible choices that threaten his sanity, mission and very existence.

Mark Strong tries, and he succeeds quite well, but he's all alone in a story that's too reminiscent of The Martian, even though it takes a serious path and takes place not on Mars but during the journey there. However, the filmmakers didn't give the film the momentum it needed, and it seems too small, even in terms of ideas, to be truly engaging.

The only upside of this movie are the shots from space. Otherwise, it makes it seem like space is awfully boring and like there’s nothing to do…
