A waste of time and money.

Rating: 4/10 (26 December 2013)

First, the cost. Twenty dollars to watch this IMAX video arcade game on steroids would be far better spent elsewhere. After parking your car (if you have one) and buying a small box of popcorn and a small drink, and there goes your mortgage or rent. Movies today, sadly, have little to offer except how better to inundate you with bigger and better special effects and ear drum-numbing sound tracks. Sandra Bullock does her best with the thin script, but should actually win the Academy Award for bruised knees. George Clooney tried out his comic timing again, but alas, I couldn't buy him as a NASA astronaut. The fact is, however, ANY decent Hollywood actor could have handled these roles, particularly since they're covered up from head to toe in helmets and space suits. So far, the best sci fi heroine I've seen was Signourney Weaver in the original "Alien" (all of the sequels were nothing but wannabees), her strong and edgy presence ringing as true as Bullock's was a rehash of "Miss Congeniality" in comparison. Wanna know the entire premise of the film? Two hours of dummies bouncing around a space ship on a wire. There you have it. And if you think that's a pretty slim reason for a major motion picture, rest assured, it is. I can only hope that Bullock doesn't return for Gravity Part 2-16. So, for all you kiddies who loved The Jetsons, here is some expensive rocket fuel for you— a futuristic cartoon couple flailing about in outer space. Only the Jetsons reached much deeper. A flimsy special effects pot boiler, this is one turkey that should have never left the launchpad.
