Big budget visuals

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2014)

Good:

CGI

Bad:

Bullock and Coolney have better performances in movies with less budgets.

very limited character development.

emphasis on emotion not science.

The CGI and cinematography are amazing in this film but if you're hoping to learn something scientific a documentary will more than suffice as this film throws logic out the window. Did I mention how good the CGI is? The sad truth is that the visuals are so amazing that it overshadows everything in hopes to compensate for the limited writing and scientific logic.
Overall:
I can compare this to a roadside collision where you see everything but are given no solid answers because your forced to move along no matter how slow you drive.
Notes:
Did anyone notice how the the American, Russian and Chinese we're represented in space but Canada gets the short end of the stick? The flag wasn't even on the arm despite what happens. Hollowood strikes again!!
