Not exactly what I was waiting to see

Rating: 5/10 (13 September 2014)

After all the praise and reviews, great IMDb score and Oscars, I was waiting for a different movie. I figured this would be a realistic sci-fi "talkie". Instead it's highly unrealistic Hollywood action. Actually I'm not sure if action is the right word, but a lot of things happen.
I was seriously waiting for an intelligent movie where Bullock would be drifting in space - something that would make you think, but instead we get to see how Bullock saves herself from running out of oxygen, space debris, fire on a space station, figuring out which button to press, flying around in space, lot's of tense scenes where she's trying to grab on to something etc.
Even tho it's quite tense at times, the breathers are quite boring. Bullock does OK and the movie looks good, but that's it. There's not much else to it. It's very unrealistic, at least feels so. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I would much rather see Apollo 13 again than this.
Not a bad movie by all means, but I was disappointed.
