A comedic drama about a group of people (and several robots) living on a space station in a 1970s-version of the future. When a new Assistant Captain arrives, she inadvertently ignites tensions among the crew, prompting them to confront their darkest secrets. Barely contained lust, jealousy, and anger all bubble to the surface, becoming just as dangerous as the asteroid that’s heading right for them.

I need an appointment with Dr Bot to help me overcome the trauma I've experienced from watching this.

Not really sure how to explain this movie. First off though, it is not the Zucker brothers-type parody that the trailer suggests. While it is billed variously as a 'comedy' and a 'dark comedy,' and there are 'jokes' (some of which are in said trailer -- along with one that's in the trailer but not the released film), this is a weirdly glum film.
Ok, so, imagine you are living in the US in, say (to pull a random year from nowhere in particular), 1976. You live in a cul-de-sac, maybe somewhere in the Midwest, or maybe California (yeah, Sacramento, probably near where 'Eight is Enough' was set). You are about 8 or 10 years old and you don't have any siblings so that, while your parents (who may or may not be getting a divorce like your best friend's parents did last year) are hosting a party in the sunken living room, you are sitting alone at the top of the stairs playing with toys and half listening to all the adults as they walk around, sloshing drinks on the shag carpeting, and talking about 'grown-up' problems (alcoholism, prescription meds, affairs, maybe something about someone being 'gay,' and so on) but also laughing at their incomprehensible-to-you jokes, none which you don't really care about, 'cause 1) you only hear bits of them and 2) they don't affect how that one kid is gonna make fun of you at school again on Monday, like they always do.
With me?
Ok, now make that set on space station, add some preposterously gratuitous nudity and some actors you've seen before, and remember that you aren't 8 or 10, but rather someone who has chosen to watch this film.
It's all weirdly disjointed, neither serious nor funny enough, more than a bit sad (in the depressing sense), and I dunno...maybe just sneaking downstairs to get some orange juice wasn't the best idea and you probably should have just stayed under the covers & read another 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book instead.

I'm sure there's some deeper nuance to this but oh my god I hated so many aspects. so much yet so little happened and that horrendous Matthew Morrison audio loop filled me with an emotion I can't even begin to comprehend. I had to take a break when the floating space woman showed up (I'm still very confused about that). this was just so odd. I dislike every single character. however the presence of Matt Bomer did make it slightly more enjoyable
