Good but Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (16 November 2013)

A film that you must watch in 3D to get the full effect and scope which is at times breathtaking. It was certainly enjoyable and compelling but the plot was thin and George Clooney's acting was 'cheesy'. At vital moments in the film he didn't seem to show the appropriate urgency. I found Sandra Bullock's performance good value for money and she portrayed her emotions impressively when faced with jeopardy after jeopardy.
One scene showed a dead astronauts head popping out of a spacecraft which was a cheap 'Jaws' ripoff.
The moral of the story is not to give up no matter what predicament you are in. Watch this on the big screen before it shown on the TV as most of the effects will be lost leaving you with Bullocks impressive performance.
