Oh dear, so much promise but fails to deliver

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2014)

For non-science orientated people, I get how the cinematography is impressive and strikes you as a very good movie. Perhaps even the character building (of which there is little) bits appeal to you. However it is a totally implausible movie that made me turn it off after 30 minutes.
Star Trek and Star Wars and other sci-fi movies put their solidly in the realm of fiction by being futuristic thus having other tech's available which allows otherwise impossible things to happen and be believable to the watcher. This movie is set near-present day, and so it has to be believable in the realm of what is available scientifically today.

Immediately, several questions are asked in terms of movie validity...How is a totally unprepared mission specialist allowed up to service the HSP? Why does she proceed to continue working after the alarm is sounded? - that is just stupid and unrealistic (if you were clever enough to be a mission specialist, you should realise it's pretty dumb to ignore an alarm in space). Why does she continue to breathe ridiculously hard when she's told to breathe slowly to conserve oxygen? Why would you say "you're fine" when asked for your status, when clearly this is the accepted protocol for giving your readings...surely this would have been covered in training? Why does she fail to grab onto anything at all of the space station (even moving through tangled parachutes she fails to grab anything) it's just luck of the roll that her foot gets trapped? Why are the Soviets blowing up satellites with missiles? How does this cause a "chain reaction" that destroys all other satellites?? - surely what the Soviets would do is drop the satellite into low Earth orbit, blow it up, and let the debris burn up in the atmosphere. These seem like "set-ups" for the story to continue, not plausible actualities. Please, if anyone can answer these questions, I'd love to read your response.

I have to say Titanic 2 was a better movie than this pile of trash - I watched Titanic 2, expecting it to be terrible, and actually was quite good in places. For a high budget movie like this, I expected so much more and was sorely disappointed.
Don't waste time hoping that it's a good movie.
