Pretty solid, very somber sci fi flick. It's slow and repetitive, sure, but it's also extremely harrowing, especially in the back half, and it left me with a real empty feeling as the credits rolled over a final shot that will absolutely stick in my memory. The overall plot left me wanting a little, especially for more about the reconstruction of society between the cults and the captain's cabal of high class aristocrats, but at the end of the day it kept the focus more personal and I think that served the plot well enough. Overall I think this movie is worth watching.
