Worst space movie ever (even "Dark Star" was better)

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2014)

This movie is boring at best. Sure it has some nice CGI effects in it but the "story" is pretty much non-existent in this flick. I can't wrap my head around the fact that so many people accept this junk as a triple-A title. The CGI-scenery, the light, the camera etc are all nice and well done but this is definitely not a good space movie. It lacks depth, the characters never develop good enough for the viewer to sympathize with them, in the contrary: they seem to actively keep trying to annoy the viewer. This goes especially for Sandra Bullock, who without a doubt is one of the worst actresses in AAA movies today (in my humble opinion). Some additional acting classes wouldn't hurt. All she seems to do in movies is heavy breathing - you might as well watch pornographic videos with the audio of this movie. And even then you won't be able to enjoy it because she can't deliver any credibility - it just seems fake and unprofessional. What that woman is doing in space is beyond credible. That does _not_ mean that George Clooney _does_ deliver though. His character lacks just as much development in the movie, all he does is talk calmly to counter the stress that Sandra is generating. I love you Sandra as a person, but you should have turned down this one. It does not help your career to be in such a mindless movie no matter how well funded it is.
But (and this is a huge _but_), in the actors defense, it all comes down to the writers. Writers seem to lack the ability to come up with something better than this nowadays. Which is very sad because it means they have been losing their creativity. If you want to see a better movie about space you're better off watching "Mission to Mars", which is not "great" either but definitely much better. The director definitely did not have a vision with this one either. He seems to focus more on CGI rather than character development. What can I say - with that equipment and funding they all could've done a better job.
What a waste of time, money and effort. Sorry, but this one is a big fat fail.
