This takes place in outer space. This starts with Monte (Robert Pattinson) and a baby girl seemingly the only survivors on a spaceship. The crew turns out to be prisoners on a suicide mission to investigate a nearby black hole. Dibs (Juliette Binoche) is the doctor.
This is trying to be a character study more than a sci-fi adventure. Nevertheless, I am struck by the illogical premise. They don't do anything that couldn't be done better with probes and machines. Any reasonable mission would be an unmanned mission. No matter what crazy happening occurs in the story. The unreasonableness of the story stays in the back of my mind. And there is a lot of crazy. The craziest being the box. This movie is definitely going for the home runs. I appreciate the home run swings but it's mostly a miss for me.
