The very beginning of the movie I found to be rather boring, first, with the fact that you can barely hear what they are saying, then it finally gets loud enough to hear. It's just boring until Ryan gets hit and tumbles out into space.
Then once she's been on her own and trying to get to the Chinese station with no luck, I got really sick of the failure, one after the other. But then when she is crashing to earth with the rest of the Chinese station, it's obvious that she barely misses the land, but much of the station does hit land. We see nothing of this, and nothing of her being rescued, or even where she is. As she's coming down, they show part of the land mass but it looks nothing like anywhere on earth. Same with most of the movie, except during one conversation in space, we can see the Red Sea and Sinai Peninsula.
I realize it's specifically meant to be 90 minutes long to be the same as how long it takes for space debris to orbit earth, but they didn't have to do that. They could have at least shown a helicopter coming to get her, and saying the location. That would have made a huge difference in satisfaction at the end of the movie. Unless it was a teaser for a sequel, but this seems like a stand alone movie to me.
