      Hoshi no koe, just shorter and with human actors. At least they did a good job, well above average for this kind of movie. I also like the minimalist set and lighting for inside the spaceship, but those "wormhole" animations in the mid narrated part look like some old video game, almost spoiled the entire experience.

    Beautifully acted. The love between this husband and wife seems so real, so palpable. That they sacrificed this love is heart-rending. One might ask, how could anyone, who was TRULY in love, leave their spouse for such an extended time? Was the husband too selfless? Did the wife's ambition drive her to selfishness? Surely, in the future, when space missions like this become a reality, it would be a prerequisite that the astronaut be unmarried and child-less? SIDE NOTE: The aging process of the husband was INCREDIBLY well done and completely believable.

    A sad fact about distant space travel. There will be a need to send those knowing that if they ever return, then no one they ever knew would be alive. A sad but very real representation of future space travel. Kudos. Very well delivered and directed. Very emotional and very true, unfortunately.

    A+ Production. Deep and quite intriguing thoughts arose after watching this. For such a short piece, it was depressing, yet promising and uplifting. The years went by for him - a lifetime. For her, just a few. But, through the years, even knowing the messages were not getting through, he remained steadfast and courageous - for her. A story of time, discovery, sacrifice, and the most of all... LOVE. In the end there is still the promise of the unknown - _the other side._

    It's art, not astrophysics 101.
    It's about emotions and memories, not speculations on interstellar travel and time dilation.
    Like or dislike it for what the story might reveal to your mind and heart.
    There are plenty of forums on hard science fiction, which this ,I think, is not meant to be.
