Watch Astronaut: The Last Push For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Not for everyone and not for every occasion. If you're looking for action, save this for later. If you want to see a realistic take on space exploration and its mental implications, it's time to watch this.Realism is the keyword for this film. It doesn't try to convince the viewers with effects or stunts but rather in the way that you could for a brief while really feel you're in space. The director, Eric Hayden's father has been working on the Galileo probe that went to Jupiter which probably had its contribution to this film's script. The whole design of the ship and the mission is very realistic and it'd be quite close to the actual way we would go to Europa if we ever would.Without going into spoilers, there is another level going on in the film. More human. Again the characters are realistic and they act like a well trained astronauts would. But as the events unfold, the mental evolution of the main character becomes analogous with the craft's journey both in space and fate.There's a hint of third level on the movie which probably means I have to watch this movie again. It's not just the craft or the man inside who's making the journey but us, as human beings collectively.

This will only really have appeal to fans of the sci-fi genre. And for those people, it has something worthwhile to offer.There are times that the movie lacks pace and interest, but that's a hard one to get right with this storyline and its confines. The director did the best he could.The scenario is very realistic and there's plenty of food for thought for those of us who want it.Personally I love anything to do with space and exploration whether real or fiction. With fiction it should be done intelligently - as this is. If you're not a fan of sci-fi, then I doubt it will have any interest for you. Despite a few minor faults, I liked it and found it interesting.

Simply put this movie is boring. Nothing interesting happens and don't expect it to happen. What you see in the first 20 or 30 minutes of the movie is essentially all you are going to see. I wouldn't bother watching this film ever again nor should you. Don't bother.Anyways, to summarize his film for those that want to know. A problem happens on a Space ship while traveling to Venus to slingshot to Europa (one of Jupiter's moons). This source of this problem is never fully explained.One guy dies and the other guy is left alone to live in the Space ship for 3 years on his own recycled flavored poop. He decides to abort going back to Earth and the movie ends.

Hey anyone that goes up in a ship today is taking a chance.You must put your trust in hundreds of other people.The building of the craft the mission planners,the ground tech's.Understand this the first-week you go up everyone is excited but what happens after your novelty wears off.You may as well be another piece of floating space junk.On a 3 year mission I would try to come home a hero but honestly Who can tell us what happens to brain function after 12 months.Its a film that allows you to look at yourself and ask the Question I'm i strong enough to overcome simply being alone.We all know that in our nations prison system being alone is the Ultra punishment.Imagine grown up adults afraid to be alone......What are we cowards.
