The CG is perfection, the cast is solid, the basic plotline is interesting and full of promise. But the story tries to do too much. We follow one (kinda) character (Augustine) and his journey to save a ship headed back to Earth, and then in the second half, he's forgotten about as we follow the ship and their perilous journey back to Earth. There are flashbacks for the Augustine, but they don't add much to the story. It's also hard to care about Augustine and his "friend" when we know everyone on Earth is dead or dying, including him. If he were to die early, the only loss is ostensibly the crew of the ship. When they finally make contact, Augustine and his journey are not as important as it was initially made it to be (plot hole?).
I also disliked the sound editing, as some parts are ridiculously loud and at other times, the characters barely whisper. I had to constantly adjust the volume to hear dialogue, but not wake my neighbors.
