The writer/director himself says the movie is not science fiction:

It's a drama, that simply happens to center around two astronauts.

A movie centering around two people in the old American west, but has no real other conventions of the genre isn't necessarily a Western.


science fiction can be drama as well, they are not mutally exclusive. Given the amount of things they imagined up that are either not currently possible with todays technology or the way they changed what is current reality it is science fiction/fantasy whether he intended it to be or not.
