I actually had content this past week or so; so, less time to waste invest on DUST eps. Although I did catch some, like "Recoil" - which I enjoyed. So: more recommendations / animadversions.
Starting with the negative: "Freight" and "Bubble" were nonsensical and bad. "Ripple Effect", meh; "Ender's Game" did anti-Heinlein better.
Worst of maybe all DUST ever is "We Were Not Made For This World" which isn't even a movie; it was a robot wandering around a desert with a voiceover. 3:42 minutes which feel like 3:42 hours.
Moving on, "Space Girls": a wholesome paean to the imagination, tho' unsure if it be "Science Fiction". (Compare Gravity, science fiction at the time... not so much now. Well... we were warned.)
"Asternauts" is good ol' redneck fiction; technically not even DUST, but better than most DUST. "Snow Ball" similar.
"Expo" (cf Moon) and "Ava in the End" were both great. "Hashtag" (starring Gigi from Farscape!) earns its place alongside That Black Mirror Episode. "The Black Hole" belongs in the fantasy section - or so I'd argue but: hilarious (reminded me of this classic). "Orbit Ever After" was okay, given some Newtonfail. "Ctrl-Z" is why we like two savepoints.
"Oblivio" was also good - although the menfolk won't like it. "The Masseuse" was Låt den rätte komma in or maybe Ex Machina if only, if only.
"Indigo" looked like a bummer, might have to try that again. "The Lonely Orbit" might be next on deck, maybe "Seechers" or "Life Support".
I noticed some full length non-DUST hardSF movies: The Last Star Warrior and The Last Scout.
UPDATE 6 PM: "Colony" and - just out now - "Infinity 7"; I am done for the night. Just horrible, both of them. Especially the former. I do recommend the comments to the former if you're up for heckling the white knights.
