[request] Help finding a space movie (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

An astronaut crash lands on an elongated asteroid with extremely strong gravity. He manages to crawl away from his ship and finds that the gravity in the middle is normal and the gravity at the far end is reversed. Time is also affected by gravity and goes backward at the far end of the asteroid. His dog was injured and he carries it to the far end to heal it. He then goes back to his ship, manages to fix it, and goes back home. There were trees in the middle with fruit as well. I think that's all I remember. The problem I've been having is if I put 'gravity' and 'movie' in the same search I get Gravity with Sandra Bullock which definitely isn't the right movie. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it Ellipse, 2019?

I used Duckduckgo and my search string was: scifi "gravity" dog stranded movie -bullock

[–] amio@kbin.social 11 points 5 months ago

Wow, 2.7/10 on imdb. Must be a good'un.

[–] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you're right, that's the one that came to mind for me.

[–] livus@kbin.social 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Is it any good? The premise sounds cool.

[–] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It does not live up to that premise...

When a trailer looks that mediocre, knowing that trailers are often assembled from the best a film can offer, you know it’ll suck.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It looks awful, but if you like the premise, I suggest "Robinson Crusoe on Mars":

Still more entertaining than "John Carter" was

[–] livus@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks! That does look interesting.

[–] seatwiggy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's it. Thank you very much!

[–] livus@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

Cool!

Not what you're looking for, but there's an episode of Doctor Who from the Peter Capaldi era with a very similar plot that might interest you. The episode is called World Enough and Time.

Your link is malformed

[–] MamboGator@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Hm. Works fine in the Photon UI. I never use anything else.

Here it is in pain text.

Maybe it's a bug in Sync.

[–] Donut@leminal.space 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Works on sync for me

Edit: wait it doesn't. It's missing the ) at the end of the URL

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I want this so hope it gets identified.

Unless the dog isn’t ok.

[–] livus@kbin.social 5 points 5 months ago

If it's the film I think it is then you won't like it, according to Doesthedogdie.com's entry.
