This is not a science-fiction film, or even a film about astronauts or anything to do with science. It was a hustle by the producer to try and convince people to waste their money on this turkey by giving it a sci-fi spin in marketing. The dreadful reality is that this film is nothing more than dreary soap; a coming of age vehicle for a spoiled Christian Slater who comes from a dysfunctional family with money. As if we care about any of it. There is no story here; and the plot is about as logical as the path of Slater's first rocket attempt early in the film. Don't waste your time or money on this turkey.
