Excellent for it's genre

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2013)

If you expect to watch a 2012 end of the world or some zombie attack movie , save your few bucks and stay at home.
For those who enjoys sci-fi scenarios simulations closer to home however (the 'farther end' was "Prometheus" the equally exciting movie), this is a must-watch this year. The depth of feel was pretty good in 3D, without making the "oooh 3...D...." cliché of focusing too much on trying to impress using the 3D elements like many early 3D movies choreography.
My only peeve was the rushed ending sequence and the twist of good fortune that made Shenzou capsule re-entry appear almost incident free, in stark comparison to the rest of Tiangong. The end was too bland, which could have benefited from short educational sequence for younger viewers on what would have happened to the astronaut (Clooney) drifted in space without the EVA/life-support --- but that's merely from an educational perspective of course.
Nonetheless, well done, Alfonso and Jonas Cuarón. Will be on the lookout for your upcoming movies.
