What a waste of time, it fails to build any kind of suspense and just piles up cliche after cliche. I'm also not a scientific but even at my basic level it is so far stretched that it becomes ridiculous and ruins any kind of immersion.

I have no idea how this garbage got even a 6 overall average. Zero should be an option just for garbage like this.

It's set up like a documentary (as others have commented) which tends to be boring and droll unless you feel like you are learning something which in a fantasy movie is completely ridiculous.

As a result of the "documentary" format, the characters are flat with only basic glimmers of humanity, as if the idea of making humans into robots or androids isn't lacking enough humanity in and of its own.

Add absolutely horrible acting. Not that you notice because the script itself sucks. But that's why there's no major actors that took this garbage on.

45 minutes in and I was trying to continue just to be as fair as possible in the review, but it sucked so bad, I just couldn't do it

This spent way too much time exploring the "Human 2.0", brain-in-a-robot story line and not nearly enough time on "the Void" in space and the spheres that were surrounding the Earth.

The documentary style just didn't work and the acting wasn't great. There were some decent effects and others that seemed always out of focus and blurry. I kept seeing reused shots. It started to remind me of old Filmation cartoons where the character keeps running past the same background.

In concept, this was an interesting "Contact" meets "Arrival" idea that just slipped in execution. The ending felt preachy, too. It was the old man-destroys-the-earth deal.

Lofty philosophical treatise disguised as SciFi presented as a documentary. However, the documentary format distanced the viewer from any emotional connection with the subject matter, resulting in a boring, “pie in the sky” idealism that won’t transcend the cynicism of our culture which is the very thing the film is attempting to do. (Just an aside - as a Christian who believes in a future new earth, new heaven, these realities are only possible once humanity is freed from their own corruption, which I believe is only possible through the divine intervention of grace, mercy and redemption.) I give this film a 5 (failed optimism) out of 10. [SciFi morality lesson]

So boring and so naive. Movie full of script and continuity flaws. Some interesting concepts but with poor development, exaggerated self-indulgence, apathetic ending (Earth 2 full of human robots! Yay!)

A movie that falls absymally short of its lofty ambitions. The script SERIOUSLY needed a polish pass to tighten everything and even correct typos and misused words. I think it's the first movie I've ever seen where that happens, and it did at least four times. Not sure why the actors couldn't tell the director his script was wrong, but I digress.

The film is wordy, and it features a lot of people talking at the camera as an exaggerated shaky cam films them at an odd angle. It feels like an episode of _The Office_ without the jokes. Some of the acting is just godawful and on the nose, and the film's structure is a mess. What little tension there is at the beginning gets lost in the movie's own fascination with "Humans Two-Point-Zero" (come ON, people would say "Two-Point-Oh," for God's sake), then it devolves into a weird _Cosmos_ pastiche without any proper payoff.

Too bad this script didn't get some more major polish time, because there were a few cool ideas and visuals in there.

A terrible attempt at an existential film. Boring first half of the film had very little point. Second half was literal guff of the highest order. Bad science, why not send a probe first? Returning human, no real science. The Russians probably sent a probe and did it better! Watch the Russian version :joy::joy::joy: Only wide eyed environmentalists would rate this film. It really is so dull and incredibly naïve. Woody rating: Arsebiscuits.

Relaxing fictional documentary. Kind of like a David Brin story or Herzog's _The Wild Blue Yonder_. It doesn't have tension because it's not supposed to. Great costumes and special effects for a high-concept indie.

The method of story telling was unique and interesting, but you have to really try to make it mean something more than a painting on the wall.

Plays as a found footage/documentary style movie. It fails to build suspense and remains slow and boring throughout. If faced with this movie my recommendation would be to avoid it and watch (or re-watch) Arrival or Interstellar.

Structured like a Documentation. But without any real Tension Curves. Boring!
