I love that famous Einstein's quote, about nationalism being a child's disease for humanity. So, I'm not writing this because I'm a Mexican, but for I like good films, plain and simple.
I've read many critics about this movie being "overrated". But they come always to the same concepts: it seems to me like people in the USA wants a sic-fi movie to be either a cliché-blockbuster-commonplace-"go America" kind of crap, or being a documentary-art film.
OK, script and dialogs are not the best, I'll give you that. This is not a 2001-like philosophical film, either.
But, come on, "unrealistic story"? So, Armageddon, The 5th element, Total recall and the like are better at that? Sandra Bullock air grasping bother you? I guess she could better be tossing patriotic lines or epiphany insights, right? Do you find less than believable that someone crashing at 3 m/s don't kill them? Wanna dwell a little bit in Newtonian 0G physics? I thought so.
No, you'll not be hearing some mad wrestler voice impersonations, or speed-twisting action scenes (Matrix?), or crash and flame environment sounds (because, well, this is space). Go find a Bruce Willis, Marvel film for that. Or some of that damn "virtual", video game-like films (300?).
What you will DO find is a very subtle subplot of rebirth. A film in which technology supports the plot, not blurring or overriding it.
Its a very fine film. A British film directed by a Mexican. Don't spect blockbuster gringo clichés.
