- Quotes
Title Card: Climate change, pandemics, war. When earth became uninhabitable, the ruling elite escaped to settle on Kepler 209.
Title Card: Two generations later, the Ulysses Project was started to find out whether a return is possible.
Title Card: The first mission back to earth was lost shortly after landing.
Title Card: [parachute deploys] This is Ulysses 2.
Earth is made uninhabitable by people, so the elite just leave it behind and move to another planet. However, the joke's on them, as they lose all reproductive ability there, so they need to come back. The story is about this woman who is the sole survivor of a survey mission and who discovers people still live on Earth, including earlier surveyors. The action is well done, the characters believable and, other than a rather disappointing finale, it's a pretty good film. There are themes of racial supremacy, protecting the Earth and a general moral that ethics are important and the means are not justified by the end.
Bottom line: I recommend it. It's not perfect, it has its flaws, but overall it does exactly what it set out to do and does it well.
