  • 1:00 — Reading.
  • 1:30 — 20 light years is not far enough to reach anything significant.
  • 9:15 — Wouldn’t he have already been prepared to abandon ship? I would have expected him to be in a suit.
  • 11:00 — God it must be as boring for that guy as it is to watch that guy not do anything.
  • 13:15 — He should have been bundling up his parachute immediately.
  • 19:00 — Five days of water would take up more volume than that little pack.
  • 19:15 — Why would he think that place doesn’t have intelligent life? That could be somewhere on Earth, and we have intelligent life.
  • 24:30 — There’s no way he would be spilling even a bit of it if he has to use pills to drink it.
  • 28:30 — The robots wiped out the world and are now just patrolling?
  • 32:00 — Wouldn’t he be reporting absolutely everything, including the fact that he was shot at?
  • 39:15 — A stick wouldn’t do a damned thing against any kind of machinery.
  • 39:45 — What about the robo-dog?
  • 40:00 — Didn’t he have gloves on?

    • 37:30 — He still had them on.
    • 37:45 — He took them off to use his oxygen. I guess he’s stupid.
  • 40:45 — I’m still confused as to why he strayed from water.
  • 44:00 — He hurt his right arm before didn’t he? What happened to it.
  • 54:00 — Did he lose his gloves?
  • 1:10:45 — Wouldn’t the doors close automatically?
  • 1:15:15 — Yet another thing I had predicted.. some parallel universe and being the cause of the war.
  • 1:17:45 — What was I supposed to learn from the meteors in the sky?

I don’t know what this low effort thing is supposed to be, but it’s intolerably bad. I don’t mind that it’s low budget, but it’s bad because it’s extraordinarily low effort.
