Unrealistically thriller-typical

Rating: 3/10 (11 August 2017)

I give this SOME rating for the acting and special effects. Now for my criticism: first, what keeps pulling George Clooney away when he's holding on by his foot? He explains that there's "backspin". I don't buy that. They're in SPACE. I think the script/dialogue is just making stuff up to get rid of him in order to have Sandra Bullock alone to make it more suspenseful. And of course the storyline would get rid of HIM instead of HER because it's even MORE suspenseful to have a FEMALE try to survive on her own than a male. You fear more for the character. Then, just because you successfully come back to the planet doesn't mean you're golden: of course she doesn't land in the middle of the ocean but conveniently right next to land, which makes up only 30% of the planet.
