Solid Film, but Sunshine and Moon had more substance as space films

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2013)

Cinematography and visuals are absolutely stunning. They filmed as if you were in space looking out from an astronaut's eyes. A lot of views from inside the space station and space ship.
Bullock and Clooney gave solid performances, but I would have preferred more dramatic actors with more depth (maybe Michael Fassbender and Jessica Chastain?). I still believe Sandra is at her best in the Blind Side and not this film. I think she is better suited working in scenes where she is interacting with other actors and actresses. In this film, it is only her on the screen where she is not able to react off another person's emotions or conversation.
From a story perspective, I felt this film was a little rushed and far-fetched. I like the mystery used and the scenes that left the audience hanging, but this film had a number of plot holes.
Definitely watch this film in theatres to get the full visual experience it deserves. But do not expect much from a story development stand point.
