In the cinema, nobody could hear me scream.

Rating: 1/10 (30 October 2013)

DON'T believe the hype!
The characters are ridiculous. The action scenarios are repetitive - floating space crew trying to get into space stations & being flipped around as they open the entrance hatches. Clooney's 's character is irritating, & constantly spouting utter nonsense stories whilst he space walks & buzzes around like a child. Even at the most import moments - such as Bullock trying to complete her Hubble Telescope repair, he is constantly talking. He can't stop even when she is announcing her suits oxygen supply is down to 2% (only finally not expecting her to reply & conserve oxygen, when it gets down to 1%) - & why the heck she didn't say, I want to live & not run out of air, & just tell him to shut the hell up I don't know. The emotional back story has no impact, the acting is terrible. Some effects are good, but placed in a poor story with ridiculous scenarios, I became unimpressed. This is no classic, & I can not understand the high marks. There is no intelligent science in this movie at all. Bullock is even impervious to smoke inhalation & fireballs exploding next to her head. I can't understand how the director didn't remind her she is mean't to be acting. Oh,& just wait for the 'dog howling' scene, absolute tosh. Before I get complaints, I know my review isn't very good, but neither is this movie. Poor script & dialogue, with a simple story, that's mean't to be driven by what turn out to be very unbelievable action sequences. Bullocks character stood no chance of survival... Do you think she survived? All in all an extremely disappointing experience, think twice before you spend money on seeing this.
