Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2013)

I really, really wanted to like this movie. There there were just a few things that I could not look past.
Yes, the graphics are amazing and it was great to see it in 3D. But the actual plot line was sorely disappointing, and the movie would have gone for a whole half hour if they cut out all the staring down at earth. Yeah, we get it. Earth is pretty from space. Get on with the movie.
It was also really hard to grasp the ridiculousness of someone with no idea how to do anything space related being chosen to go into space. A large portion of the movie just didn't make any sense.
Visually, it was amazing. In every other way... Not so much.
