I didn't expect much as I was pretty sure it was one of those shoestring home shot movies. I recently watched Gabriel which was inexpensive, and frankly was a better movie. I thought this was filmed in Australia or New Zealand and was surprised it was filmed in the United States.
The reality that the film tries to create doesn't make much sense. The point honed in on is that the universe creates parts of itself to experience life so it can learn about itself. Okay, but after 14 billion years, how long does it take to learn?
We are just dust, the temporary expression of this desire to learn that passes back on into nothingness. There may have been something in there too about the strongest force being love. It was hard to tell.
The main character has found the love of his life and they're going to get married, but he has to go into space for 7 years to a worm hole and find out if we are more than dust. It's not really explained how this will give him the answer. The mission is one that was tried by his father earlier and he was lost forever, but this time they think they've got it. It doesn't work and he's lost forever too, but signals are being sent to earth and she's still pining for him even though she's going to marry a new man, and the fact that he left her for at least 7 years on something he knew had never been successfully done doesn't seem to impact her holding out for him either.
It turns out there are earths all over the universe, apparently created by the universe as part of its 14 billion year road of self discovery. He could just stay on one of these alternate earths where people have alternate timelines and time moves at different rates. They're also the ones that created the wormhole, somehow, even though they look just like us and have our same level of development and even the same people, except there's also a spaceship in the air.
It's never explained how this whole endeavor was supposed to answer whether we're dust. There's never any mention of theologians or going to them for perspectives on the soul or the meaning of life. It's 7 years in space or bust.
In the end he goes back to his earth, finds 80 years have passed and it's a flaming burned out world, and that's it. He walks into space in his suit until he runs out of air or something like that. I'm not sure what the universe learned about life from him, but hopefully it's important.
