Trivia This is one of two movies to be released in 2009 to have been based on a short film released in 2005. The other film was Shane Acker’s 9 (2009/I). Both films were adapted for a full-length feature film by their original directors.
Goofs Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The space ship covering a greater part of the city skyline manages to float in the air for 20 years without fuel. This defies Newton’s Third Law, as it would need fuel or power to oppose or equalize the 9.8m/s/s gravitational pull. However, it is only stated that the ship needs fuel to make the journey back to the home planet. It can be assumed that it has some automated system keeping it floating.
