Another marketing fake

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2014)

Let's start off directly - critically acclaimed with 8.2 rating. Since I can't vouch for mental credibility of critics, I can vouch that they have been properly paid, just like for other big titles.
Now a bit more detail. Movie isn't bad. There can be worse, certainly. Movie has visuals, some music, some acting, some plot. If watching this is not an expense to you - it's worth it. However, there is nothing to expect from this movie. Absolutely.
The only possible positive thing about this movie is the atmosphere. Duh, a movie about atmosphere has atmosphere! Well, better than the opposite. To some it may be boring and redundant, but I can more or less understand the purpose of depicting how helpless a person is in open space. This is the catch of the movie, and it is achieved. At this point the movie COULD in fact have 7-8 rating. But...
The amount of stupidity in this movie can only be competing against Promotheos. How did this specialist get in space? Last time I checked, space program isn't some university teaching. You can't just be an "expert" or "specialist". Unless all of that is an urban myth, only people with perfect health\physical condition, mental stability proved by multiple tests and extreme perception are allowed to actually go there. And that is regardless of your "role". And it is for the very reason that things that are shown in the movie - do NOT end like they did. What do we see? Well, mentally unstable, physically slender "expert", who has issues in basic centrifuge situation(and that IS one of the tests). Oh, and I hope this isn't much of a spoiler, but apparently she also has never succeeded in emergency simulations. We are supposed to believe that she was allowed up there... On top of that - the dialogues are very plain. The whole movie can be summed down to protagonist whining and being babysat by her officer in charge. Twice in the movie the protagonist stays on the brink of death... for unnaturally long time. Let's put it this way. Over the course of 10 minutes, the Oxygen amount has been reduced from ~10% to 1%. In the next ~15 minutes of active talking, breath and moving - this 1% is as good as full. Seriously, no. Just no. And, of course, there is one decompression scene that is worse than Ripley in Aliens.
If you are a visual fa.. fan - you will probably award it 7-9, as you'd do to any other CGI motion picture. If you are a scientific person... well, you will be offended. Totally. This is probably not the safe movie to watch.
