Goofs

Titan is not "the only other place in the solar system with an atmosphere." Mars and Venus have atmospheres, as does Triton, and the gas giant planets all have enormous atmospheres.

Quotes

Prof. Martin Collingwood: Our population has grown out of control. Our environment is in decay. Our resources have been depleted. Wars have ravaged our planet. We are fighting over the scraps of what remains. In ten years, half the planet will be uninhabitable. In 15 years, half the world's population will have starved to death. Time is running out. We've outgrown our home. Our children will witness the end of days.

User Reviews

Another Barbecue?

The movie was okay but predictable. Does every single astronaut movie have to have a scene with astronauts and their families grilling burgers? We get it, patriotism. They could have used that time and money to develope a more original plot.
