Who are these Oscar voters?

Rating: 4/10 (3 March 2014)

This is, bottom line, one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. If you like 90 minutes of screaming, clumsily grabbing for (and missing) EVERYTHING, and one of those "what can go wrong WILL go wrong" movies - this is definitely your kind of flick.
Opens up well enough: they're on a mission in space, securing some prototype doodad to the Hubble telescope. But that's where it stops being anything short of obnoxious. A Russian satellite explodes and for some odd reason the debris from the explosion begin to hurdle around the earth at insane speeds - tearing through protective plating designed to take asteroid impacts. Immediately the main character starts having a huge panic attack, and her complete inability to do anything useful leads to the death of her commanding officer. While "low on oxygen", you then get to enjoy listening to Sandra Bullock hyperventilate for a good 20 minutes. Then she has major emotional breakdowns throughout the rest of the movie, leading her to do stupid, mindless things. A woman with that many emotional problems would not be allowed to go into space.
Everything she does either goes wrong or has the classic cliché of working right at the last second (I can't even count how many times she missed grabbing a dozen objects but then happens to catch onto the last one). The most frustrating is when she is holding on to her commander's tether, and for some reason he is being pulled away from her continually, despite them being in space. He can't climb up the zero- gravity rope, and she can't pull him back? It's aggravating.
So really that's the gist of the entire movie. No character development. Weak script (as many have mentioned). Ludicrously unrealistic. And overall the movie was just one of those "OH COME ON!!!!" movies. Will never see it again, and it remains a mystery to me why it got such high ratings...
