Very cute and moving. Hard sci-fi can be fun. The technical and political aspects fall apart as the movie continues. Everyone is sure to die--until they don't. All of a sudden, it takes only four years to return from a star 11 light years away, with no need to calculate trajectories. At least in The Martian, someone had to steal supercomputer time.

Quirky funny, although the women are too attractive for the rural boondocks of Saskatchewan.

The Sheep Detectives

Adolescent, humorous in a cutesy way, with a Christian flavor. The murder mystery is reasonably well presented. The movie is so goofy in an adolescent way that I didn't foresee the (funny) resolution of the chase scene near the end.
