A Hollywood movie for Hollywood

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2013)

A GREAT movie in terms of special effects and technical challenges they had to overcome.
Some 'astronauts' have criticised the movie for arcane details they messed up. Who cares? You feel like its genuine space the whole time.
However, for me, the movie seemed to be more about Hollywood showing Hollywood how clever it is with amazing special effects, symbolic use of Sandra's breath and huge technical demands on the actors.
It is easy to get distracted by this but ...
Long 3/4 head shots and dialogue, interspersed with frantic action and an extremely predictable plot based on challenge after challenge after ... challenge did not excite me at all.
