I like to think that this was a recruitment video for Space Force, and that after watching it, Trump would pump his fist and exclaim, "Nailed it!". Yes, the timing is all wrong for this joke, but it fits right in with the movie.
This is a Science Fiction movie, but with no Science, no Fiction, and no movie. I assume they lured Mark Strong into some form of "Hobo Containment Device" (Trademark, Copyright Reserved), by leaving some of those bags of dehydrated pasta in a pile with a stick in the center, holding up a tarp.
Imagine the pitch for this movie...Director: "What if NASA was one guy in a garage, the astronauts were all plant-hating psychopaths, and everything is so absurd the audience will be convinced this is a metaphor, but then at the end we'll make it all impossibly real!" Producer: "Whoa whoa! That's a little too science-y for me! Can we dumb this down a bit?" Director, cracking knuckles, "Hold my beer..."
If they had just leaned into the stupidity a bit more: like having Mark Strong attack the Magnetic Storm with his trusty Protractor, his red water, and a scowl; or having him fix the other ship's "gyro problems" by removing a panel, and then tying an untied shoelace behind said panel; or having the space station transform into a giant mouse to get revenge for the two mice killed by the station hillbillies/psychos, and then somehow eating the men still inside the transformed station; or having Luke Wilson "the one man at NASA" always be facing the wrong way when he is trying to communincate; then this movie would still be bad. Thanks for reading my ideas though!
