acting was pretty poor, story was alright, directing was great

Rating: 6/10 (16 November 2013)

Ill begin with the good: its one of the most visually beautiful films I've seen all year, however this cannot make up for the fact that the acting was average at best and I felt a complete lack of empathy due to Bullock playing a character who was completely unrelatable. The story was lazy at times and I felt the director was trying to build up false sense of suspense only to lead to cheap jumpscares. Although it was to be expected, i found the trailer very misleading, I came into the film expecting to see quite a lot more about the struggles she found herself in BUT she spent almost a third of the film doing nothing and a great length of time with very feint audio and watching a POV of space, although this does build suspense, too much of it made me lose interest and did not really make great cinema. To summarize: Visuals fantastic, Directing: good, Plot: nothing special, Acting: meh 6/10
