It's scientific accuracy, it misses the mark in being entertaining. Laboriously slow, Away lingers on many scenes way too long and takes too long to flesh out character back story. Characters who are boring to begin with and almost all of them except Swank are unlikable. The cinematography is dark and I found myself squinting through the whole series. The dialog, is uninteresting with bland and flat tone, is audibly low and never seems to climax. As I squinted through each episode, I kept wondering when will the point of this movie, with all its angst and edgy lead ups reveal itself. It never did.
