Terrible plot and very lame scenes which are just cringe worthy

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2013)

(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS BELOW)
People have stated how great it is visually and it is good, I watched it in 2D as I had no option to watch the 3D version (long story), but it was still impressive.
I'm not sure where to start...

the very cheesy way Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) talks to Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) gets old very quickly.

The way that he floats away to certain death and yet still makes light hearted comments about what colour eyes he has, I was just left thinking "reaaaallly?" - it was terrible

Dr Stone has been in space 6 months I believe, and had 6 months worth of training before. She is not an Astronaut. How then is she able to singlehandedly transfer herself to another space station and get home?... well...

The answer is - she uses instruction manuals - one written in Russian and one in Chinese

Worst still, is that she goes to press a button on the screen and says "eeny meenie miny mo" to choose which one

In a vision she has, Matt Kowalski (clooney) appears and tells her the answers. Of course this is her sub-conscious, but it was another terrible plot twist

She says she lost her young daughter when she fell over and died. Yet this seems to have no real impact or necessity. I failed to relate to her in anyway, and had no sympathy for her

She loses contact with Houston but talks to some weird radio station where the guy starts making dog noises. Dr Stone decides to join in and starts Howling - literally howling like a wolf.

The whole story had no real point or weight (no pun intended). I could see what happened and what she had to achieve, but it was just so bland and shallow.

I couldn't honestly have cared less if she'd been blown up or survived. That's wrong in my opinion as you should care about the characters if it's done properly.
