Featured review
This was great and deserves a lot more praise than it has received - and that may be in part that it hasn't been available in many places online. I think Stéphane Lafleur said a lot with this in regards to human ambition, the mundaneness of that pursuit, and the humour amidst it all.
More than anything, it caught me by my humanness and made me feel a lot of different things: the annoyances that the crew dealt with, the desire for their young female crew member. But it was all contrived! The organizing members of the Viking mission (and possibly other missions...) were quite hilarious in how manipulative their approach to having the fake crew members replicate the actions of the real crew members were.
I would love to see more of this kind of unique take at sci-fi, the subverting of the all-too-serious expectations of the high budget genre. The only reason I didn't give it 10 stars was because of the predictive nature of the two sugars. It was obvious that by the end, the main character was going to at some point have his redemption of coffee with two sugars. I still enjoyed it, but I think the film could've done with less instances of showing David lingering around the sugar cubes.
