Totally overrated

Rating: 3/10 (21 January 2014)

OK so the movie starts off with some great shots of the astronauts working on the Huble telescope as it is tethered to the space shuttle, within minutes though I find myself been irritated by Bullocks character as Clooney zooms around like a kid in playground... When the collision occurs Bullock loses it, which is probably understandable but just doesn't play well on screen, while Clooney is the professional astronaut that comes up with the plan implausible as it might seem and away they go. Some nice imagery on occasion but pretty thin storyline along with a pretty lame performance by Bullock, it looks good on the big screen but this is one of those movies that if you watch it at home you don't need to pause when you go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea...How it has received at 8.3 on IMDb in beyond me.... Lots of technical inaccuracies Bullock's poor performance, I can't imagine an astronaut been so defeatist. Overall a movie to watch on a bad weather day when there is ABSOLUTELY nothing else to watch I wish I could have the 90mins back....
