Seen this so many times before...

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2013)

As you listen to the critics gush you hope this will be the movie you have waited for all year. The movies starts, looks spectacular, the use of the 3D is cute but reminds me of the Michael Jackson "ride" at Disneyland, 3D effects for the purpose of 3D effects, nothing more. I do think they give you a good feel for weightlessness and the claustrophobia of space. I think Bullock is good, but I'm having Danny Ocean in space seemed a bit over the top.
The movie run time is only 90 minutes but I felt like it was a very LONG 90 minutes. The plot is completely predictable and offers nothing new. This is worth seeing for the visual look but beyond that there is not much here. All I felt after leaving this movie was added respect for the astronauts of Apollo 13.
Go, but the critics are just wrong on this one, it is OK, but nothing special.
