Review
The documentary tells the true story of NASA’s Opportunity rover surviving 15 years on Mars. It focuses on engineering teamwork, problem-solving, and the emotional bond between scientists and the robot with zero identity politics or social-justice lectures. No girlboss rewriting, no anti-male messaging, no anti-colonial sermons, and no activist dialogue appear. The film celebrates human scientific achievement straight through.
