    Storyline

    • Trivia
      It was intended to have Ryan Reynolds play the main character. However, scheduling conflicts with The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) forced him to take a supporting role instead.
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene, the view of outer space from the International Space Station shows twinkling stars. Stars do not actually twinkle in the way we see them, but the twinkling is an optical illusion of the light from stars being refracted by the earth's atmosphere.
    • Quotes

      David Jordan: Goodnight, nobody.

    • Crazy credits
      The music for the end titles begins with the song Spirit in the Sky. This was used during the live broadcast from the ill-fated Apollo XIII moon mission. A recreation of this broadcast, along with this song, was included in the film of the same name. The irony is intentional, as the song is about dying.

    Unbearable "mistakes" by movie characters
    I was highly annoyed by the unprofessional and error-prone behaviour of the movie characters. Throughout the movie, you will ask yourself: How can he be so stupid? Why is she not doing the obvious? Why are the astronauts emphasising proper procedures, then five seconds later breaking their own rules? How come a former soldier is breaking the chain of command? There is nothing realistic about the behaviour of these characters. In the end, I just hated them. I do not believe that there is a demographic that likes movies like this. Either the script was written by an incompetent author, or the directors are ignorant of what makes a good movie.

    FAQ2

    • Why do they keep the poor little rat tied up?The answers given make sense except that animal testing in space has not been occurring since the 1940s! That might have been a typo error. The 1950s is likely what was meant because the first man-made object ever sent into space was the Russian satellite, Sputnik, back in 1958.
