I've never heard of Zoe Chao, but she is quite charming! And this is probably the first non-Marvel movie with Anthony Mackie that I actually enjoyed. Together, they make this idea work. And the levity of the interesting visuals works as a nice contrast to the seriousness of the situation, and it's quite different from my expectations.. which further assisted my enjoyment very much.
It's rather simple, but very personal. Goes to show that you don't really require a gigantic budget, when the idea and execution can properly entertain you for 1 hour and a half.
Easy recommendation for anyone looking for "Comedy + Romantic + Sci Fi" story.

"Nothing! ..and everything"
Simple, sweet, perfect date movie
First off, Sci-Fi is my favourite genre - this movie however is only sci-fi in respect to Space being the only locale possible for its premise.
I found the movie's quirky, extreme low budget effects a perfect match tonally for its overall feel - and it even gave me a few giggles. If however, you require ALL your sci-fi films to be hyper-realistic and filled to the brim with the latest generation CGI - you best skip this one.
Comedy-wise, you're not likely to have too many great belly laughs either, but the script and the Leads fantastic chemistry will ensure you have a smile on your face for the majority of it.
As I said, this movie is simple - Very - but if you want to curl up on your lounge for 90 minutes with your partner {or prospective partner} , be well entertained, and finish with a warm fuzzy feeling - you won't be disappointed.
Super fun to watch
This movie is definitely something different. It's a Rom-Com first and foremost with a zany Sci-fi twist. The entire outer space scenes looked like something from a kids show which made it fun to watch. My husband and I watched this together and rather enjoyed it. It was fresh and spontaneous for the most part and not too predictable. I love both Anthony and Zoe as actors and I felt their chemistry was right on target for this. They were adorable together. My only gripe is I wish the characters weren't married but maybe only involved/dating others prior to their being stuck in space together for 3 years. I just didn't like that element to the story that their relationship broke up 2 marriages. Other than that I loved the story and that they were meant to be together even as wacky as their space voyage was. I will say it was rather unique going from wacky unrealistic space visuals to realistic back on Earth scenes. That was definitely a unique viewing process with really no explanation as to why it was done that way lol. My only assumption is that it was filmed this way to maybe portray the way they felt about being stuck in space like their perceptions were distorted after being there for 3 years. Idk but whatever the reasoning it was a breath of fresh air to watch. I loved the creativity of it all.
