Your Stage : Can you guys share your opinions on this logline by Yashas Nanda

Not a bad logline, but is that the basic story?

Yashas Nanda for someone who follows sci-fi,

this might sound kind of like Sphere meets The Martian meets Sunshine meets Ad Astra, acknowledging that these basic elements are common enough to the genre as to be vague clichés,

if you read it to yourself out loud a dozen times, you start to wonder how it would be differentiated from any other of this type film?

At best, your imagination is sparked by this logline to make you go into more details about at least some specific element of your story that is unique and distinctive, takes our tone in a direction either more dark, adventurous, mystical, techno, romance,

needs decisiveness and authority at least implied,

to connect us to either the character, the catalyst, the pivot point, what's wrong with his sanity other than just post-apocalyptic, something!?

So you must add something innovative to break out from the established territory, as a service not to your audience but to yourself to pursue in your concept something more elusive.

Yashas Nanda As a lover of scifi, I find it super interesting. I would consider raising the stakes - what does the astronaut (or the rest of us) stand to loose if he doesn't gain control of his sanity? Hope that helps. I like where you're going.

I like the concept, Yashas Nanda, but I agree with Rutger Oosterhoff 2 ("Not a bad logline, but is that the basic story?"). I think the logline is too long. I suggest focusing on the basic parts of the story.

I like Leonardo Ramirez 2's note about the stakes too.
