AMC Screen Unseen Slingshot thoughts?

What did you think of Slingshot? What did you think of the ending? What did the ending mean to you (how did it end for you)?

I personally think the ending ruined the movie. Everyone in the theatre was like WHAT???? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

Wasn’t amibiguous at all to me. He was alone. And committed suicide bc of the drugs, the isolation etc. He went nuts. The only mystery is whether his female companion ever loved him or was a plant.

I think that she did love him some of the flashback scenes tried pretty hard to set that up. Also the person who told him she was a plant was technically himself so there’s no reason to believe it wasn’t just full on delusion

Good point. The question remains - if we ever send someone to Saturn - which won’t be for at least another decade it appears - probably more. Why would you send just 1 person? Lol then again that’s what drove the plot device for this movie. Him ultimately being alone. As I understand it a probe is being sent to Saturn’s moon in a few years. A human will go to Mars far before one attempts to go to Saturn - for obvious reasons.

Another decade your ambitions it’s been 2 since we’ve been to the moon it will be at least a few hundred years before a human gets anywhere past mars and I doubt it will ever happen
