As a pure Sci Fi movie on a lowish budget, not too bad an effort but the story was spoilt by manifest dumb script and factual errors (even allowing for the fact there was no Hermes by Britain.
The pilot was definitely not the right stuff, I could not believe that any test pilot of whatever nationality would behave like this whimpering sole. Most test pilots (read a few books on the subject) are very strong in emotional and business like even in crisis aka Apollo 13. We didn't see any panic and emotion there.
So not a bad effort but a bit long winded and not really one I would watch again.
