Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 2013)

I was very excited to this movie because of the trailers and the amazing reviews I read on IMDb, and amazing reviews from critics. I really wanted to like this movie, and I tried so hard to like it, but the movie was really slow-paced and boring and repetitive. I expected so much more from the supposed "best space movie in years" but it fell short. The first 20 minutes were really interesting, but I was bummed that it starts off in space right away. You didn't know anything about the characters until after the first accident happens, which makes it more difficult to connect with the characters. Not only that, but the characters are the stereotypical cliché cocky guy and scared, weak girl.
Then, the rest of the movie is a series of repetitive events that I could have sworn I'd already watched. Also, spoiler here, but when they showed Ryan talking to Matt, I thought he was actually with her, and they didn't make it very clear that she was having a dream, so that scene was very confusing.
I thought it might get better, but it didn't. The ending was very cheesy and unrealistic. And the ending doesn't conclude anything about the story as much as I hoped it would, it just kind of ends... I was just extremely disappointed because I was really excited about this movie, but overall it is just a bunch of hype. Sure, the visuals were stunning, but that's all this movie has going for it, which isn't enough to keep you entertained for 90 minutes. The scenes were painfully slow and boring, I found myself falling asleep. And the plot was so repetitive with Ryan just floating around trying to grab on to something. It felt like a waste of time and money. I wouldn't watch it again.
