"Stowaway" A very well-done, very intense sci-fi drama

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and I really enjoyed this one. Here's my review and a trailer:

1. Thanks from one sci-fi fan to another.

I'll check it out. If you like fantasy as well, check out the Nevers. I've only seen the pilot but hubs and I like it so will definitely watch more.

2. Did you hear how the 4th got trapped on the ship?

Just watch this a couple of days ago, and we enjoyed the plot too except there never was a reveal of how the support engineer managed to get trapped in a compartment that required dismantling by unscrewing bolts from outside the compartment. We kept waiting for the reveal in the early part of the movie but it never happened.

3. You're right.

I think there was a vague explanation about how he got trapped. You'd think with a multi-million dollar space shot, they'd be a bit more careful. But I just figured it was more important that he was there than how he happened to get there. Still, one of the better sci-fi flicks I've seen in a while.

4. Thanks for recommending this

Just watched it and I was really impressed, especially by the camera work and editing—I felt at times like I was on the ship. But mostly I was impressed by the script and the way the filmmakers made the audience aware of the logistic issues without a lot of tiresome explanation. I found it compelling and suspenseful, and I was never sure how it might end, but seriously, the carbon-scrubbing unit was the size of dictionary yet they couldn't bring a replacement, maybe dump the Yale mugs for a backup carbon-scrubber?
