A film that actually makes up for the lack of story and dialogue with something else

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2014)

This is a film that I can understand how some movie watchers might enjoy it and some others won't. This isn't a movie that has a lot of meat and dialogue when it comes to the story. Instead it's a tense film that takes place in space. With realistic physics, graphics, special effects and sound. Sure this are elements that critics bash on in films, but it does bring something new in a artistic way. Watching this film was like watching the movie "Buried" except I like this one better. The entire film is about astronauts trying to survive by coming back to Earth from space when something goes horribly wrong. The acting was also really good, although short George Clooney just fit right into this role. Some may say this film lacks substance and to a degree it does, but that isn't the focus of this film. Sure some films that focus only on special effects alone falters however this has something new and different to offer. When you have your eyes glued to the screen and actually kinda care what happens and actually has your attention as an audience all the way through. It's doing something right.
7.9/10
