Um, ... I guess, I'll begin at the end. The fact that the director needed a voice-over at the end of the narrative to tell us that what we felt watching the movie was its title says to me that he failed to convey it through the work itself. What I felt was that the writer/director lifted/copied/borrowed/stole a whole lot, and then-some, from the two classics 2001 and Solaris. What I felt was cheated. At least, those movies had some stories--mind you great original stories. Is this supposed to be the second half of 2001 with better lighting and today's special effects? Then again, the effort taken to show us that this is in space is to give some shots rotated in 90-degrees. Nothing, nothing what-so-ever has the zero-g effects. The cinematography was great, the music was nice, the movie had real potential; had there been a story, a real love story as the title suggests, this could have been a brilliant work. "Stream of consciousness" no worky specially when it reminds the audience of other people's original work. (Note to self: stop picking movies based on the number of awards mentioned on the poster.) My Rating: 5.0
