Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIo was the original title of Outland (1981) but at that time testing showed people read the name Io as 10, and so the name was changed.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the movie, Sam takes a sample looking to see if bacteria can use ammonia (NH3) as an oxygen (O2) source. Ammonia has no oxygen available to be used.
- Quotes
Sam: Do you think it's absurd to love someone that's millions of miles away?
Micah: Not at all. So ancient is the desire for one another which is implanted in us. Reuniting our original nature, seeking to make one of two and healing the state of man.
Sam: What's that?
Micah: Plato. Symposium.
Sam: What does it mean?
Micah: He says, humans originally had two faces. Four arms, four legs. And they were happy like that. Complete. Then they defied the gods, so the gods split us in two as punishment. Tore us away from our other halves. He said, each of us, when separated, is always looking for our other half. It's our nature. But when one is met with this other half... the pair are lost in an amazement of love, friendship, intimacy. And one will not be seen out of the other's sight. See, the reason is, human nature was once originally one. And we were whole. And the desire and the pursuit of the whole... is called love.

Very visual, it has some poignant scenes, I particularly liked the decayed and rotten streets and buildings, they looked incredible.
There are multiple messages here, I appreciate that in amongst the many negative ones, there is one that shines through the whole way through, human spirit.
Tragic beauty, 7/10.
