Okay here's an idea. Lets take some old NASA footage, mix it in with some underwater footage & make like we're on another planet. Yeah that'll be cool. Well turns out it wasn't. Long & I do mean long scenes of B-grade, boring footage mixed in with some equally boring music equals one very bored audience. It was a real struggle getting through this poorly paced, ill conceived nonsense. Unless you're looking for something to help you sleep, skip this one.

Spliced together from archive documentary footage of real space missions and deep sea Antarctic dives, Brad Dourif - playing an alien who travelled to Earth when his own planet, the Wild Blue Yonder, became uninhabitable - narrates this story about a NASA mission that makes the same journey in reverse.
Although this movie is thought-provoking (it has a strong environmental theme), deeply satirical (a group of aliens travel millions of light years to a new planet and their first priority is building a shopping mall), and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny (the NASA crew have eye tests, Dourif deadpans that they have developed ways to read each other's minds) it is also unfortunately quite dull. Once you have seen a few minutes of astronauts floating around in their shuttle, then you've pretty much seen it all. These scenes are nice to look at, but after a while you find your mind beginning to wander. All in all, it's an interesting concept for a film. I liked the touches of humour, and it is only 85 minutes long, but I imagine a lot of people would be turned off by it's slow pace and low-budget feel of the non-stock footage.
