Look, the premise sounds cool: astronauts in a simulation, something goes wrong, they can't tell what's real. Classic sci-fi setup. But here's the truth—this movie is almost universally considered a mess.

With a 22% critic score, 27% audience score, and a dismal 4.4/10 on IMDb, this isn't a hidden gem that critics missed. It's a poorly-executed thriller that apparently fails to deliver on its promise, leaving viewers confused and frustrated rather than intrigued. The 2.2/5 on Letterboxd is particularly damning—that's 'I want my time back' territory.

For parents: this isn't for kids anyway (15+), but even for teens who love sci-fi, there are dozens of better options. The psychological elements and reality-bending could be genuinely disturbing, and the payoff apparently isn't worth it. Skip this one and watch Ex Machina, Moon, or even The Martian instead—actual good space-psychology movies that respect your time.
