Not sure if it was a coincidence or planned, but to name the astronaut Roger Nelson was a poke at I dream of Jeanie?
Roger Healy, Tony Nelson combo?
I can understand budgeting, but lack of props was a disappointment, I mean seriously, couldn't do better then a $5 plastic box to put an alien artifact in? a $1 pencil box glued to the wall? Then to put it in a sandwich ziplock bag?
Now, this movie will show the arrogance and stupidity of man, to do things without any kind of support or resource. If that was a goal, it achieved it marvelously.
Overall, entertaining, a decent watch and keep an open mind.
