Reading and Owen give us a sci fi outer space drama that can easily be looked at as a "coherent rewrite of 2001".
"2001 A Space Odyssey" was an overrated bit of boredom that couldn't possibly make any sense as directed and written without a program to tell the viewer what was going on.
Like 2001, we have a computer gone wrong on a space ship, and a synopsis of a scenario for the existence of human beings.
Here, however, the team explains what is taking place.
The characters are more credible than the paper thin ones of 2001, which were just contrived to make a sermon.
That doesn't make this a great movie, but at least it is coherent.
