Another Overrated Movie

Rating: 2/10 (28 May 2014)

There are only two characters you see in the movie. You will be struggling to know even two things about these characters (other than they are astronauts). I think this may be the worst movie I have ever seen Sandra Bullock in, and she can usually make a movie good just because of her genuine personality.
There are way too many unbelievable parts to this story, which may not deter some people but starts to bother me after awhile.
The whole movie is a repetition of spinning through space, safe, spinning through space, safe.
They try to throw in religion for a split second, then forget about it immediately. It just bugs me that they bothered to do it at all.
I like the fact that they incorporated real events from NASA in the movie, but honestly the 'When We Left Earth' NASA documentary was more intense and interesting.
I do not understand the purpose of this movie. I thought it was about human endurance and the will to survive. But Sandra Bullock NEVER says why she decides to live, when she is obviously depressed about her child dying. It's like they just forgot about making their story make sense. Is it because she comes to terms with her daughter being dead? I don't understand how that is the game changer. I actually became sad after this because I felt like the creators couldn't come up with a good reason for her to live. This is probably the point where a decent back story would have paid off....
2/10 only because it is in space, and looks pretty.
