The movie heavily borrows (some will say plagiarizes) on a brilliant and unappreciated "Solar" and lacks the humor of the "Martian". The authors probably recognized that the plot was too thin for the blockbuster and added two clumsy and plot-unrelated episodes with lunar pirates and with apes taking over the Dutch spaceship. Why in these days and age they would not have humanoid robots to explore dangerous objects? I posted this still to illustrate that laser light as any electromagnetic signal travels 6-7 hours to Neptune.
