The film follows astronauts Captain Theo Cooper (Brandon Routh), Dr Emily McTier (Caity Lotz), Bug Kieslowski (Ben Feldman) and Cole Dvorak (Dane Cook) as they undertake a 400-day simulation mission to study the possible effects of space travel to a far-off planet. Stationed in an underground bunker, the group are monitored to see how they would cope physically and mentally, and pass the time together with no sunlight and no contact with the outside world. As their mission approaches its end, the isolated conditions take their toll on the group and the strain causes them to question the nature of their simulated environment. When they decide to open the bunker's hatch and venture outside they begin to wonder if they really are just part of a simulation. (Transmission Films)

This is just a game of good sci-fi that tries to captivate with interesting individual scenes, but as a whole, they are just a display of ideas that do not hold together and do not create the desired final effect that was apparently strived for. The final twist is surprisingly weak, which completely shocked me.
