Cheap action flick, nothing more

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2013)

Any action flick fan has seen this a thousand times before. Under two hours long, explosions are here, artificial tension is here, cheesy dialog is here, miraculous escapes are here, poor acting is here, happy ending is here. I can't see why this movie is any different from titles such as Stallone's "Daylight" or "Cliffhanger". Space environment and 3D effects? Please, lets be serious. If a movie tries to get all the praise for its visuals it means it has no depth whatsoever. I haven't even seen it in 3D, I refused to give my money for such a deception. I don't even care if it is cheesy, ridiculous and over-the-top. I actually love such combinations from time to time, but only if they don't take themselves to seriously. We are talking about 95% of movie critics giving it a positive review, people calling it a "movie of the year candidate"? I've seen porn movies with more captivating dialogue and more coherence. Many of my friends and film lovers tried to show me that there is something symbolic and subtle in this film, but I simply can't see it. There isn't. It is a short, impossible, cheesy and (at moments) hilarious action flick which I have seen many times. Like many have said before me - if you want a serious space movie watch "Apollo 13" or "2001 Space Odyssey". And I have seen them recently. They look like B-2 stealth bombers compared to a paper plane.
8.5 rating? The most overrated movie on the site, after this I can't take the ratings seriously anymore. I could easily give it a 1 just to fight the numerous positive ratings, but I will give it a grade which I believe is the accurate one - 5.
