Gonna give this a shot...
[b]Survival Quest[/b] 1988.

There are several screenshots from the movie that your co-worker can view to see if this is the film or not.
Gonna take a wild stab at this and guess:
[b]Hope And Glory[/b] (1987). It's a semi-autobiographical film about Director John Boorman's experiences as a young child growing up in England during WWII.

Don't normally have the time, but here are the final moments of The Time Travelers (1964):

Hope it helps.
OBTW, was shocked to learn that this once-rare film is now freely available via Amazon Prime. :-D
Another angle to approach: Identify the ad agency who had the account in '05.
There are several sites, like AdAge and AdWeek, which have industry connections which can lead to the creators/copywriters - and even actors.
Well, it's worth a shot. <g>
Wish this forum worked more like others, but it is what is. <g>
Here's a YouTube vid compilation that does a decent job of stitching together images from the movie.
In it you can see of the "aliens" - tho' technically creepy, they're actually the good guy androids working to protect the humans from the really forked-up mutants.

GL! :-)
Given the timeframe you outlined - the late 70s - would suggest a film from the 1950s-up to what would've been the present.
If you take out astronauts and replace with scientists, who are wearing futuristic silver costumes, then:
[b]The Time Travelers[/b] (1964) with John Hoyt and Merry Anders.
Not sure if this forum allows screenshots, so here's an image via IMDb:

Spoiler Warning:
The final scene of the movie shows the surviving humans going thru the gate into a tropical paradise.
Something very similar in the original "Masters Of The Universe" (1987) with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man.
The product in question however was pork ribs.
As he was sharing an Earth favorite 'fast-food bucket' with his compatriots - half the team was disgusted/horrified to learn that the "delicious" food was in fact made from a living creature called a pig. (extraterrestrial vegans) <g>
