    • Goofs
      The conversation between Commander Vishniac and the TV newscaster could not have taken place in real time as the distance between Earth and Mars is 3-5 light minutes, which means every message exchange would have been delayed by 6-10 minutes, the time for message and answer to cross the interplanetary distance.

      Jenny Johnson: You mean to say your enormous talent, your amazing intelligence, can't find any other solution than for us to die f*cking?... Here's my plan... I'll get into my pressurized suit and go outside to see if I can locate the leak... You can stay here inside and masturbate until you die of dehaydration!

    A slow, but thoroughly engrossing sci-fi drama
    If you dislike slow pace, and needs lots of explosions or adventure in your science-fiction films, avoid Stranded. You won't enjoy it.

    But if you like slow, realistic, thought provoking sci-fi (films like 2001 or Solaris) with a twist of psychological drama, then give Stranded a go.

    On a tiny budget, I believe the makers of Stranded have achieved a deeper, more interesting Mars film than any other to date.

    Six Astronauts aboard the first mission to Mars, crash their ship when landing, and the only hope of rescue is a potential 3 year wait for another ship from Earth. With not enough air, water or energy to last for 3 years, the film asks - what would you do? The settings are believable, the acting a little varied (some accents might even be dubbed), and the special effects merely OK. It looks like a mere BBC TV special. But try not to be distracted by these quibbles.

    Apart from an initial space travel shot or two, special effects aren't needed. The film's real strength is the tension between the characters as they sit huddled in the wreckage of their ship, and the harsh reality of their situation.

    Even a science fiction twist at the end remains believable, thanks to it's understated nature.

    I went into this film expecting a terrible b-grade sci-fi film. Instead, I found myself on the edge of my seat from beginning to end, and was frankly blown away by it's mature effort (on such a tiny budget) to portray a sci-fi scenario on Mars.

    Highly recommended for lovers of sincere and realistic sci-fi drama.
