Simply a masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2013)

Few people realize the sheer amount of awesomeness contained in this film- Instead, it is criticized for its long shot sequences and (to some) dull storyline. I, instead, find that this film is somewhat revolutionary. To elaborate on this, few films have had such amazing shots in them that roll on without getting stale (the first one lasts for a good 17 or so minutes), and I find myself feeling sympathetic towards the characters in the film, like few films have made me feel.
The cinematography is simply amazing as well- even though the majority of the film was made in a 3D software (Like Cinema4D for example). while watching this film one finds that they actually feel like they are floating helplessly through space, possibly to their demise, much the same as the characters in the film. I Did see it in IMax 3D which may have had something to do with it; there's just something about seeing tiny particles of space dust float into your vision as you see the sunrise glide over the earth.
The only problem I could find with this film is that the storyline isn't really physically possible- Due to the orbital locations of the space stations, it would not be plausible for someone to float from the ISS to Russia's space station, and then even further to china's space station. Nevertheless, this doesn't exactly effect how amazing this film is.
I May even go see it again, its so good. This film is definitely one of my all time favorite films.
