Every trope cliché...vomit inducing for smart people

I'm sorry, I just can't with this. Speaking as a woman, the women characters that Hollywood continues to trot out to illustrate narrative, continue to be really offensive and irritating. All while desperately trying to have a "strong female character."
They've got to pull that trope garbage about her being a mother who lost her daughter. I seriously was about to vomit in the aisle when this happens. That fake emotional device paired with the music...it's like getting Splenda in your coffee when you like the taste of coffee all on its own. Stop. Please just stop.
The science is wrong. It's not even worth going into. Yes, yes, we know Hollywood, how could you possibly make an interesting movie with real science? We know. It's impossible. #sarcasm
For me what is worse and so insidious are women characters. I do love Sandra Bullock, I really do, but seriously to send her up there and have her flailing around like that until Clooney comes along (in dream form) to tell her to sack up...is really irritating and offensive to watch. More interesting would have been to have Sandra play Clooney's character and Clooney, Sandra's
The one great thing about this movie is that it has given limitless bitching fodder to me and my friends. That is fun (we love science AND we are feminists...weird, huh?). It also inspires me, in a way, because there is so much crap in Hollywood that gets produced and distributed, so maybe someday my crap will get produced, distributed, adored and buy me a house in the Turks and Caicos. So, there's that.
