"My father's somewhere on that thing, Earth." Nathaniel Shepherd (Oldman) has finally seen his dream realized and the first crew has been sent to inhabit and colonize Mars. When one of the women that was sent gives birth to a son on the planet heirs worried as to what will happen to him. He has been trying everything he can to hide what happened from the world, but when Gardner (Butterfield) decides he wants to visit Earth to find his father it becomes a race against time. Nathaniel must find him before its too late. This is first and foremost a very good movie. The movie was just a little too predictable for me but did have enough twists and the ending wasn't 100% what I expected. Even though the movie is science fiction there is still a large element of reality and nothing that was discussed or shown seems that far fetched. That element of reality really added to the impact of the movie. This is a sci fi love story that I really enjoyed and do recommend, even though it did tend to get a little cheesy in some parts. Overall, very much worth seeing and one of the best date movies that has come along in a while. I give this a B+.
