Scriptwriters Lost in Spa-a-a-a-a-a-ce

Rating: 4/10 (12 July 2014)

I'm usually not a nitpicker and am probably duplicating comments from others, but the disappointment began with noticing that the space vehicles seemed to be traveling East to West, rather than West to East as is standard practice. The technical gaffes cascaded from there. Let's just say the filmmakers had the same understanding of orbital mechanics as four year old. Disdain climaxed when Sandra Bullock crawls out of the mud without a single bruise on body despite undergoing far too* many collisions with space hardware in the preceding 80 minutes. Still, spectacular visuals of space and Bullock's physique kept me watching.
*"Um, how do we keep this scene moving? I know! We'll slam her into the space station again."
