Space travel experiment gone awry
15 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The mere possibility of space travel and colonization of a distant world is simply a backdrop to this story of experimentation on human clones, really the only aspect of this story which can be accurately labeled as science fiction. Initially, it explores the effects of the isolation of simulated space travel on a human individual, albeit a human clone, revealed later. It's a bioethics thriller, similar, though on a smaller scale, to Ascension, a social experiment drama. At the climax, the question is how to deal with the rogue engineer who threatened to expose the project and the clone that he freed. I was expecting a less predictable ending than it has, so that cost it a couple of points. Otherwise, good acting, props and set design. Engaging plot.
