Looney toons, this time in orbit around Earth.

Rating: 1/10 (12 February 2014)

No amount of CGI will redeem this hocus pockus of its presumption.
A bunch of clearly juvenile people in cosmonaut suits try their hand at satellite repair in orbit. One insane mission commander does a merry go round the shuttle as he plays music and sings when his delinquent engineer fiddles on with the space telescope hardware and the Arab guy is doing something similar to a yo yo act on his tether. It's like seeing children from school on a space picnic, literally. The test chimpanzee from the Chinese module viewing through his porthole must have felt like undertaking an EVA just to discipline these morons.
So when the debris starts flying, Nasa asks the commander to start reentry procedure. Yeah sure, the space shuttle is like a trike, just start the engine, climb down and park.
Btw, did you know that space stations all hang about close to each other. So its pretty simple, if you loose your space craft just hop over to the next station.
Anyway, eventually the engineer is caught in a dilemma over whether to let go of said mission commander or not. What I don't understand is what was pulling on the commander? gravity? I think not cause he floated off the other way.
When she finally does get into the ISS the engineer strips down for a much needed stretch and then gets into the Soyuz reentry capsule. She reads the Russian manual written in Russian for Russian controls labelled in Russian and maneuvers the capsule to the Chinese tiangong space station. Once there she reads the Chinese manual without success but operates the Chinese controls labelled in Chinese successfully to start an escape sequence and does a successful reentry.
In a matter of minutes the movie goes from a show of NASA astronauts to showcasing the life of space hobo's with debris thrown in for good measure.
