Beautiful story about the personal lives of 3 astronauts during a terrible time.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2013)

many people want to say it wont have a story because there is no way you can fit 90 minutes of space into a film. BUT It did have a story. it goes into the Drama/adventure Genre. Adventure being a journey. People say there's no compelling story, but (small spoiler**) the journey is them going back to Earth.** The hobbit's story (among a few others interlaced within) is them making their way to a destination, with all the mishaps that happen during the trip.
there are four types of literary conflict: Man V Man, Man V Self, Man V Situation/Nature, Man V Social. This Film is Man V Self and Man V Situation/Nature.
The reason it's so foreign to many people is that the most common in films lately is Man V Man. This one, however is not man V Man in any way.
this is a film where it's best to watch it in 3D, and imagining yourself in their shoes. 3D because when people walk in space, they feel disoriented because there's no true orientation of X, Y, and Zedd axis, and the 3D mixed with the camera floating around freely helps put you in THEIR place. I saw it in 2D but it just doesn't work for this film.
I LOVED this movie. I watched it twice. once on my own and another with a group because after them seeing my excitement after the film they were compelled to see if I was right, and They all agreed: this movie was awesome.
TECHNICAL: They didn't bend the real laws of physics in this film, at least not in an immediately noticeable way. The cinematography is brilliant. Color is amazing. Acting rocks! don't expect action when it's not needed, but don't expect to be disappointed when there is action. the score ROCKS! Steven Price did an AMAZING job with the soundtrack, filling the gaps of would be near silent audio. sound editing is brilliant, I don't want to give a whole lot away about the feel of the film, but the underwater no- air sound was done extremely well. I was jaw dropped through the majority of the film. there was never a dull moment, and when you put it all together, you get 15 minute cuts. some entire scenes are done with just 1 or 3 takes, but don't expect it to feel like a tripod shot. you'll hardly notice and even forget that there wasn't many cuts.
the point i'm trying to make here, is that, ignore the trailer, the actual film itself is one of the best of this year, and one of the best from and for many years to come. it's up there. the boundaries in every sense has been pushed. I will be wanting to watch this again VERY soon.
