Mindless doesn't begin to describe this movie

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2014)

Actually, the spoiler is watching the movie itself. I am a total science fiction fan and, like others I was interested because of the high reviews. Well, Hollywood is beginning to bore me to death. The special effect industry has completely overshadowed intelligence and real acting.
Even the suggested astounding special effects didn't pan out. Some of the graphics were not realistic at all which pretty much detracted from the good graphics.
Ever watch one of those airline disaster movies where an engine exploding would be bad enough but the pregnant woman in 34A is going into labor, the only doctor on board just died of a heart attack, the pilots have suffered food poisoning, the prettiest female flight attendant must now fly the plane into a raging storm with the help of 12 year old Jimmy's experience with flight sim software on his computer. Did I mention the cockpit door is locked from the inside?
Yes, it's one of those!
It's full of bad science and ridiculous improbabilities. Can someone please tell movie makers using a drill, sliding circuit boards in their holding trays and debris crashing into space vehicles are utterly soundless in space, which would have been far more dramatic and terrifying than sound effects and music.
When are educated people going to start making movies again.
Here was a perfect opportunity to show something dramatic based on science and the very real possibilities of non survival and THIS is all they could come up with regardless of the fortune they spent - and I haven't even said anything about the pathetic dialog and sophomoric acting.
With a human record of space travel (you know, like a few trips to the moon) and all the amazing tools we have for educating people anyone seeing this film should have felt their intelligence was insulted but unfortunately we're becoming a world of uneducated people with dumbed down expectations to be exploited by sensationalism.
If you want realistic science fiction watch Apollo 13 or Blade Runner and if you want intelligent storytelling try Contact. Don't waste your money or, more importantly your time on this absurd movie.
I don't mind reading the spoilers in reviews before I see the movie. If it's a good movie then it's a good movie and knowing what will happen should not detract from the experience. This is especially true for science fiction as we're not there to see if the butler committed the murder.
However, in this case, if I'd read this particular spoiler in one of these reviews I'd never have entertained watching this movie at all.
*** Now a spoiler ***
How many times do we have to have Eve emerge into eden as the ending of a movie? All the simple minded histrionics throughout the movie were bad enough to swallow but crashing into a lake with a sinking space craft and getting out of a space suit within seconds (that takes hours to get into) and swimming to the light on the surface of pristine waters in an idyllic wilderness was more than I could bear without screaming.
My only wish is that people who make money from a movie like this could be sued for fraud, theft and wasting my time. At the very least it's advertising should have a disclaimer - "This movie is entirely unrealistic, gives no consideration to science whatsoever, has remarkably bad acting, is full of the most banal cliché's and you can have a full refund if not satisfied."
That'll do.
