Quite an interesting film

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2015)

This is an interesting film. Weighing pros and cons, I actually recommend it if you appreciate some realistic drama situations.
Shortly after the film begins, disaster strikes. One of the most interesting things about this plot is that the disaster involved is so realistic that it could actually happen! This is a survival story which could really, essentially, be repeated. If you like realistic films, this is a good thing.
It is quite interesting to hear the conversations of the astronauts in the beginning, particularly with the slight humour and interesting stories of one astronaut.
After disaster strikes, the drama and thrilling is virtually constant; however, it is not scary or frightening, which makes it all quite interesting. At this point, the survivor(s) of the initial disaster (I shall not spoil who or how many they were) attempt(s) to stay alive — and the way that this all happens is quite remarkable in every aspect; as I said, it is thrilling, and it makes you wonder what will happen next.
The outcome is, very simply, surprising. These all are good things I enjoyed in the film.
There were only a few things I disliked. The film is, in some aspects, scientifically inaccurate. For details, I recommend reading, in the FAQ section, the question, 'Did the film follow the laws of physics?' (may contain some minor spoilers — perhaps you should read after watching the film, for a better comprehension).
Another thing that you may dislike if, like me, you are an evangelical Christian is that, at one point, one character prays to a dead person.
And, of course, as in most films nowadays, there are a few swear words (one F-word and a number of S-words), which also reduce the quality of the film. Therefore, it may not be appropriate to show this film to children. Beware, also, that some perhaps disturbing images are briefly shown, and that the entire drama of the film may just be too intense for some sensitive people (see Parents Guide for details).
Nevertheless, all in all, I must say it was a good film.
