About

You may like this if you enjoy grounded, suspenseful space dramas with a patient build and an old-school feel, especially if Silent Running interests you; Not for you if you want fast action or constant excitement.

Pros: realistic space details; tense rescue premise; strong performances | Cons: very slow pace; talky stretches; dated effects for some
