Although the acting was very good at best, (***Spoiler Alert***), the story was flat....about the personal turmoil of one astronauts about to leave her daughter for a year.
There could have been a "consequence" built into the story line to make the movie more interesting with some intensity....but the writers didn't go in that direction,
which ultimately failed in the end. I could have written three possible better endings. Instead, we just watched a mother and young 8 year old daughter go through their personal journeys, all the while seeing the mother astronaut not dealing well with leaving, resisting and breaking the rules, putting her co astronauts at risk.....
and then the rocket takes off. I felt it didn't make for a very captivating and interesting story. Actually one stays with the movie "waiting" for the story to turn to some struggling epoch ending....and it doesn't. There it fails.
