| May 10, 2020 at 2:05 | comment | added | Alan | Yup, I saw it. It was a foreign film with surcaps. I am looking for it too. All I know is it has the number two in the title because the fake ship was in silo number two of 11 I believe. The first word of the title was the name of the planet that the “ship” was supposed to be going to for colonization. If anyone discovers the title please let me know, the movie blew my mind, awesome unexpected twist early in the film. | |

| Nov 3, 2014 at 1:59 | comment | added | Trish Ling | There was an entire series arc about something like this on Eureka (a SyFy show) where the characters spend an entire season prepping and training for a mission to Titan (moon of Saturn) and they finally launch....only to find themselves landing back on Earth 4 years into the future...only there's more! They're actually jacked into the Matrix (their minds are trapped in a virtual Eureka) and they never left Earth. The series big bad (and also a US Senator played by Ming Na) are using their genius brains to steal all their ideas/inventions that they come up with while in the Matrix. | |

| Mar 30, 2014 at 11:48 | comment | added | Fahim | Nope, they weren't teenagers as far as I can recall. My (albeit hazy) memory says that they were adults who were supposed to have been there years but that's not based on a very concrete memory ... | |
| Mar 30, 2014 at 11:46 | comment | added | Fahim | Probably closer to one to two decades than three years :) But really have no clear recollection of when. I just have this visual in my mind of one character sneaking out of the supposed spaceship and that's how the other character figures out they are not on a spaceship. But I have no clear recollection of when I saw this. | |
