Best Depiction of space travel since "2010".

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2016)

Not for everyone and very intense. No BEM (bug-eyed-monster) or alien. Death and fear are the monsters here. She is a "tenderfoot" astronaut and has to read the plastic cue cards to operate the equipment. She goes in-and-out of consciousness and imagines that her dead partner, "Kowalski" (George Clooney) returns and saves her. In fact he does, as his hallucination helps her focus on her own rescue. Everything goes wrong after a failed repair of the Hubble telescope, and she becomes the lone survivor from the USA team. The Hubble gets destroyed by space debris, and so does her spacecraft. I actually felt like I was ridding along with her. Everything was so real and vivid yet some reviewers thought it to be long, boring and meaningless? She makes a final leap-of-faith and "jumps" to the rescue spacecraft-capsule, which almost burns up on re-entry. It's only 90 minutes so try to see it uncut. (With 30 minutes of cable commercials, it does drag.) Warning! viewing it on a large screen/3D/IMAX might cause vertigo!
