Well, I must admit — the trailer for this movie was NOT what I expect!
The FX are very good, the sets are well designed, and the cast is quite attractive. But the trailer certainly give no clue as to what the story is about, and based on both the posts on this thread and the comments from Wikipedia, there certainly doesn't seem to be one!
Wikipedia says this about it:

This is the first film directed by Plotnick. He developed the script through improvisation sessions at his home with some of his favorite actors.

I don't know if I should try watching this one or not. Probably "or not" would be wise. Randy and Eadie hated it, but Wayne found some small bits of merit in the humor, according to his post below Eadie's.
Maybe if I started out with low expectations . . . and remembered I'd been warned about it . . . and drank just enough beer . . .
Naw, I'd just end up falling asleep the way Wayne said he did. ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ ____________

Don't bother. It is boring, unfunny and a complete waste of time. _________________ "Have you never wondered what it would be like to walk between the ticks and tocks of Time?" |

I think the trailer misrepresents the film, which is not actually a comedy.
Here's a positive take on the film. (link).
And another review that discusses it as a melancholy look at relationships in a sci-fi setting. (link). _________________ * * *
