- The entire film was created on a MacBook Pro with a pirated copy of Adobe After Effects.
- This is Sigourney Weaver's 73rd reprise of her role as a woman in outer space.

- At nearly three hours long, the film is like suffering through six episodes of Two and a Half Men.

- James Cameron's original title for the film was Dances With Wolves, But In Space.
