I don't understand the bad reviews. It's a family drama/isolation story set on Mars and the actors, the characters are really good. I found it to be very engaging and not "boring" or dull at all. The acting, even from the child actress, was top notch. Every question you may have is indirectly answered if you listen to the dialogue. The way the story unfolds has surprises that aren't cheap and every decision a character makes makes sense from that char's POV. There's no cheap "feelgood" inserted in the story. Judging by some of the reviews, viewers today expect everything explained in exposition, everything explained in detail and some explosions every 5 minutes to hold their attention. Seriously, that a movie like this gets so trashed here makes me sad.
