Wildly Unrealistic and Problematic

Rating: 1/10 (7 November 2013)

This was literally the worst movie I have ever seen. I could not relate at all to the story line or the characters. Usually I jump a lot when I see suspenseful movies with a lot of tension. I was very bored despite seeing the 3D version of this film.
The movie did not represent something that was likely at all. NASA protocol would never allow for astronauts to stay outside if satellite debris was floating around, they would have them return to the shuttle immediately, regardless of it being in their orbit or not. A lot of the issues the characters faced would never have happened. Sandra Bullock would have been wearing WAY more clothing under her space suit, but the director felt it was necessary to have a mostly naked woman in space. (Not to mention she doesn't even have shoes at the end and she's in the middle of nowhere).
The unkind reference to transgender people was completely useless other than a political statement. (I am referring to the story of the short man at Mardi Gras... the detail that he was transgender had ZERO relevance to the story and could've been avoided).
Also, there would NOT be astronauts that could not communicate at all. I found this film to be racist towards Chinese people. They implied that the Chinese astronauts knew NO English and were howling in despair.
Oh, did I mention that the female character just HAD to be saved by the male character even though he died? This movie paints women as incapable and relying on men (as usual). The actors should be ashamed of themselves for taking part in this movie. Both Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are famous enough that they did not have to do this movie the way they did. They are not hard up for money, starving artist types. They could have spoken with the director about the script problems or just not done it at all.
There are more problems, but I will stop here. I couldn't even enjoy the graphics this movie was so bad. Earth didn't even look geographically correct when they showed clips of it.
