I'm watching the Danny Dyer Boyle film right now on C4 for the first time. I'm becoming a fan of these TL 8/9 pre-warp "realism" spaceship movies.
The fantasy is still there - the ships make noises, they cannot move unless the engines are on full burn and there's gravity perpendicular to the direction of acceleration, oh and there's a telepathic alien in Pod 4 in "Defying Gravity" - but they are trying to capture the environment of life on board an interplanetary spaceship.
And despite them getting the crucial science wrong, it's still good to have these kinds of shows around. If it encourages people to think about going out there for real, so be it.
