Totally Lame Except for Some of the Visuals

Rating: 3/10 (13 November 2014)

OMG. I can't believe I sat through the entire thing. I gave this fiasco three stars purely for the visuals. If one didn't know better, you would think it was actually shot on the Hubble and the ISS. The scenery was beautiful. Other than that, the plot is so ridiculous, the writing is so terrible and the acting is so lame that it shouldn't even have made it past the premier.
Yes, it's a "space thriller", but the writers should have come up with something more plausible than a chain reaction of exploding / colliding satellite debris; it's completely impossible from a scientific standpoint. Space 1999 was more believable than this. Armageddon was more believable than this. Heck, Transformers is about as believable as this. Station jumping in order to find a usable reentry vehicle? Please. Total communications failure? Not. Inept astronauts? I don't think so. Ultra-heroic mission commanders? Uh-uh. I mean really: parachutes deploying in space, debris in a flat orbit travelling at thousands of miles per hour, randomly pushing buttons in a foreign language in hopes of initiating reentry, nobody home at any space stations. The plot holes are just too many to even begin to list. And perhaps worst, both Bullock and Clooney must have done this in their sleep. They were both flat as can be in their performances.
And to think I paid $6.99 to watch this on Amazon... Aaaarrgh! If you haven't bought it yet, Please Don't. If you feel you just have to watch it, wait for it to come to a "free" site.
I could have downloaded a Space Screensaver and gotten practically the same visuals without all the garbage...
