this was just boring, more than anything. a guy got shot in the head and it was boring. i feel like thats a hell of a bad sign

Good concept, abysmal execution. Unfortunately I did not connect with this story whatsoever.

I'd seen that infamous shot from More than a Messiah, and because of it I wasn't really expecting much from the script but that was genuinely just so heartfelt and well acted, with some interesting sci-fi concepts in there too.

Baker and Bryant are great (not technically but lets be honest they're actually just) returning to their roles, and Aldred is great as the planet's consciousness, I love her interactions with Baker here. I also think the side-cast is pretty solid too, you've got a believable 'villain' who eventually ends up seeming like just a mentally unwell older man.

There's a lot of heart to the story, and it's one of those wilderness exploits that I've surprised myself by how much I've enjoyed it
