Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for fans of stories set among the stars and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill. Fans of Soylent Green or Super 8 should feel right at home.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want something to relax to.

Set in the "not-so-distant future", the crew of an international space station are set to return triumphantly to Earth, until someone starts killing the other crew members.
