Watch Magellan For Free

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Instant Favorite.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Story line is good but everything you know about science is completely absent .

The plot is pretty much a mashup of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" with a bit of "Silent Running" thrown in. Nothing original. Thankfully the cast is small because everyone but the actor playing the lead is awful.

Fascinating concept. Unexpected twist at the end. No big-budget special effects. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

I am an actor and this is actually my first review on ImdB. I chose to write this review to encourage movies like this to continue to be produced. It was a great effort on a shoestring (~$80K) budget, and a great sci fi plot similar to Mission to Mars (one of my top 10) mixed with Contact and 2001. It held my attention and was entertaining. Yes, there were some unanswered questions in the storyline, there were one or two plot holes, and the ending was perhaps setting itself up for a sequel, but that would be okay in my book. I found it interesting, well acted overall, and worth the time spent. Also, the cinematography was spectacular!
