Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe voice of The Starship Avalon belongs to voiceover artist Emma Clarke, who is also one of the iconic 'Mind the Gap' voices on London Underground.
- GoofsWhen Aurora is trapped in the water bubble, she appears to be unable to swim out of it. Even in zero gravity Newtons third law of action equaling reaction still applies. Pushing water backwards (through swimming movements) would easily push her forward to the surface and out of the bubble.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Aurora Lane: [voice over] A friend once said, "You can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be that you forget to make the most of where you are." We got lost along the way. But we found each other. And we made a life. A beautiful life. Together.
- Crazy creditsThe first half of the end credits feature images of celestial objects in space, such as nebulas and galaxies.

Featured review
The Critics -- wrong again
Did you read Robinson Crusoe? Did you ever see a quaint Sci-fi movie called Robinson Crusoe on Mars.
How many lost at sea movies have you seen?
I like this one best of all. No it is not perfection and the errors shine through if you watch it often.
For my money it could have been longer. I would have savored more development of our two lead characters. As pure science fiction this is not an example of Hard-Sci-Fi. Far more technical details would have bored most viewers to tears.
My thinking is that the two leads are suffering from an abundance of enthusiasm for some of their other efforts that might come off as cartoonish, a bit thin or pale.
This will be one of those that ages well and becomes a fan/cult favorite. { somebody is going to expand this into a short series }
I would dearly love to argue the merits of this film with any critic. I watch this at least once a year. An eclectic fellow I have explored many areas of inquiry. Far and away I have exposed myself to more Science Fiction than anything besides work and sleep.
Cinematically it is a real contender, deserving.
As a foray into Sci-Fi it does really well.
As a romance it might be iffy but every romance has some challenges to overcome before the third act.
