Trivia
Virtually all lights used in the shooting are incorporated in the sets, meaning that no additional lights were used.

Goofs
From the time the Russian cosmonaut (NOT astronaut - additional error) arrives there are multiple references to his ship, all identifying it as a Soviet-designed Soyuz capsule. There is even a correct diagram show on the computer screens but the model used to depict the craft is an American Apollo-class capsule.

Loneliness and life choices

The thing that will scare many away is this movie is very slow and not a lot actually happens. I expect this is because this was originally a series that was made into a movie so it is longer than necessary which makes the slow pace even slower for this quick generation. For those not in a rush however, it is worth your time.

It's a story about four astronauts on a space station who are spending 1000 days in space to study the effect of isolation on human behaviour for use in long range manned space missions. All of them have made choices and sacrifices to get where they are, and in the enforced isolation of space each of them is confronted with their decisions, especially when things go banana-shaped. We all know those moments at 00:30 when you lie awake till 04:00 reliving your mistakes.

I can't say more without spoilers but it is a well executed study in human behaviour under pressure and visually it looks very good. The budget for the film was tiny so you'll have to accept there is gravity in the space station and everyone simply walks around, no money for fancy zero-g effects :)
