William Eubank's ambitious small-scale sci-fi epic is a call to arms for low-budget film-making, but comes up short for anyone familiar with Kubrick's 2001: a Space Odyssey or Duncan Jones's Moon. Originally conceived as a series of music videos for a concept album by Angels and Airwaves, it soon took on a life of its own, with the songs demoted to soundtrack status. After a beautiful but confusing opening during the American Civil War, the story moves forward in time, up in altitude and out in scope, as astronaut Gunner Wright contemplates his very lonely existence after communications are cut between Earth and his international space station. Eubank's restricted set (built on his parents' driveway) and set-up are promising, and, in an impressive one-man show, Wright convincingly shoulders his character's gradual shift from isolation to breakdown. But Eubank's increasingly transcendental slant betrays the restrictions of his budget and the spliced-in advice from talking heads jars with the cluttered elegance of the station's interior, as it begins to meld with the astronaut's consciousness. It's definitely worth a look, but it also leaves a feeling of disappointment for what could have been.
