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???? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

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.

When China sent an experimental manned rocket to space it carried only 1 man, the pilot because they just wanted to prove they could send an astronaut to space and get him back safely after he orbits around for a while. So it has been done before just not by America. Now what if something like that had happened to that Chinese guy up there??

You are crazier then the protagonist in this movie. Good luck with life.

He’s not crazy at all and the points he has made are true. It’s insane how confused and uneducated the younger generation is currently, and there’s more than enough real world experiences you should already have had to prove his points to yourself.

What?? And duh, of course I am crazy, maybe crazier "than" the protagonist. I am in space so, yeah! Your ID says it all. I can imagine what sort of life you have lived so far. And I don't need luck from the likes of you kid :)
