Hollywood garbage

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2014)

This movie is full of lame clichés, poor dialog and a pathetic storyline. The ONLY thing that makes this movie remotely watchable are the special effects.
Firstly, the story line is total garbage and unoriginal! As usual, the whole fiasco was the fault of the "Russians" Seriously?? Haven't we moved passed the cold war and the whole "evil Russian empire"? Then we have the main character, Sandra Bullock. Here we have another sad cliché, as she plays a woman with scars and a tear jerking past who is trying to find meaning and redemption in her sad and empty life out in the depths of space. Awwwwww. George Clooney plays the standard heroic all American good guy who is totally fearless, selfless and willing to give the ultimate sacrifice, all with a sense of humor..... makes me wish i was an American *sarcasm*
Secondly, we have the story, which is so unbelievable that it defies logic, and Sandra Bullocks character is the most gifted, most intelligent and luckiest person in the history of humanity as she survives one unbelievable catastrophe after another. Not too bad for an underdog who flunked her flight simulations and has virtually no skills as an astronaut.
Seriously, this film is an insult to your intelligence and it seems to be marketed to people who believe and fairy tales and unicorns.
