  I think this one is going to grow on me. 

  After it ended, I had the feeling like the whole film left me wanting more: speedier pacing, more visual color, a more complex message or payoff at the end. But the more I think about it, maybe that’s the point. That all the exploration, eye-candy and plot advancement isn’t really going to bring meaning. Just the relationships, the humanity, the people we share the journey with, yada yada.

  Otherwise, strong cinematography, lots of space scene palm sweats, and nice performance by Tommy and Brad.
