Warning Major Spoilers
There is very little of the drama that should have been there and absolutely no tension, these people are drifting in space with no way to control their ship, there should be all kinds of tension. We are never emotionally invested in any of the characters, most of the actors seem to be just reciting their lines.
This could have been a decent movie, and I could have suspended my disbelief for it, but it is in no way realistic. There are just so many things wrong with this. First of all, where did that debris come from? They seem to have made this trip regularly, if some other ship on that same route had been damaged wouldn't they be aware of it? They lost all the fuel, yet always had enough power to heat and light the entire ship? And they have enough food on board for 2 years but it's only a 3 week trip? And in year 3 there was still enough alcohol to party with? And there were no murders or riots, I'm pretty sure that after 2 years of drifting through space people are gonna get crazy. There are things that happen in one chapter and are never mentioned again, like one chapter they have an epidemic of suicides, but that is never mentioned again. in another chapter they capture some sort of probe that turns out to be alien technology, so they can't figure it out and afterwards it's never mentioned again. Nothing is connecting these chapters together not even the few main characters. There is no way that people would have lasted 7 years in space. let alone the 24 this movie implies, and it is unlikely that the spaceship would have lasted the 5 million years it took to get to a star system in the Lyra constellation.
And there is some nudity and a bit of simulated sex, but only about 5 minutes total. Who cares about the poem this is based on, until I read the reviews I was unaware of it, and I have no desire to read it.
