Great visuals, but over-rated film and mailed in performances by Bullock and Clooney.

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2013)

This film has great visuals, but that is about it. Boring acting jobs by Bullock and Clooney. I don't know why Hollywood feels the need to put miscast "A-listers" in every feature. Personally, I feel this film would have been better with relatively unknown actors, rather than stars like Bullock and Clooney that have the exact same screen presence and speech patterns no matter what film they are in. Hard to believe them being astronauts when they have the exact same screen presence of every other role they've had. Go see it for the visuals but try to look past the mailed in performances of Bullock and Clooney and the sappy sentimental introspective look into Bullock's character...Boring!
