A Sci-fi movie with its own gravitas

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2014)

Within its genre,sci-fi,it has proved to be convincingly realistic and dramatic at the same time. It maintains a good "drama" pace keeping many on the edge of their seats for 90 minutes. The special effects are amazing but not for their own sake. The whole production and special effects make the plausible story possible, making the whole movie experience seamlessly entertaining and gripping. The use of a limited cast in the vastness of space is perplexing and mind-boggling to most moviegoers. Years from now, audiences will refer to this movie as a starting point when a new form of sci-fi cinematography was capable of capturing a range of human emotions in a rather effective way.
