The atmospheric dye effects had no connection to space or to the story. The personality of the guy was unstable to being cowboyish. Alarm bells started to ring in my mind almost immediately. Yet by the end I couldn't decide if I am to feel stupid or offended. Mark Strong starts off as an astronaut that is sent there and thinks about his place in the world and talks to people on Earth. However if you go in simply expecting a solid exploration of astronaut life and the challenges they can go through mentally, I think you will find yourself quite enjoying this one.įollowing the success of movies like Moon, someone thought it would be a good idea to try with a movie about a mission towards Mars. People who go into this expecting an 'Armegeddon' or even 'Gravity' type film are going to be let down and I suspect that is a lot of the reason why this film has not been received very well. As mentioned, this won't be for everyone. Mark Strong in the lead role does a good job of being just interesting enough in what would have been a very tough role to take on. A film with basically only one character is never going to be the most exhilarating watch, however the pacing of the film doesn't feel overly slow. I actually quite enjoyed it for the most part. This is the story of a man who has embarked on a mission that very few people on Earth would be brave enough to do, and the struggle he consequently went through. With space movies I think people have come to expect drama filled, save-the-world type films and this is simply not that. It's very much a slow-burner of a film and is really more of a character study than anything else. I can see why 'Approaching the Unknown' would not be to everyone's liking.
