The launch is ready at Cape Canaveral, to send three men to Mars, when something goes wrong. The story unfolds with astronaut Brubaker and co. forced to simulate the first man mission to Mars in an abandoned base in the desert, to keep the space program funded by the government, in a game of deception between life and death. I cannot stress enough how well made this film is. I love every bit of it. It contains all the elements for a great film. Action, intrigue, drama, adventure, science fiction, thriller, comedy, altogether. Every scene, every line, are memorable. The excellent soundtrack is in perfect harmony with the images. The well crafted dialogues, follow the story unfolding, with interesting characters, in a realistic scenario and great rhythm. The relationship between the characters and the plot are captivating. The punch-lines are hilarious. Not to mention the dangerous stunts, very effective. All in all a masterpiece of cinematography IMHO.
