A Million Miles Away is worth watching as it does have some important messages, although they aren't delivered in a compelling way. It took me three nights to watch it. Everything about this movie is bland: acting, storyline, dialogue, themes, pacing. Sad to say nothing hits hard emotionally or intellectually. The last scene with the real Jose Hernandez was the most interesting.
Michael Pena needs a shot of charisma and brain cells before each scene. I didn't buy that he was an engineer or NASA caliber. Maybe he was staying true to the personality of the real person, although he had the same characteristics in Jack Ryan.
This movie is like drinking iced tea on the porch on a hot summer day and watching tge leaves rustle in the wind. The movie's blandness is peaceful. Maybe that's why Amazon classifies it as spiritual. The fact that it's a space movie elevates it from a 6 to a 7.
