I don't get the hype

Rating: 2/10 (2 October 2014)

I honestly don't get the hype about this or understand why this was Oscar nominated.
Sure, it's a pretty space movie with decent cinematography but it's lacking any sort of plot, never mind solid characterization with any sort of depth. I kept waiting for the movie to begin, for something to happen, to be shown anything about these characters that actually made me care. I was still waiting as the credits started to roll.
The dialog was predictable, the imagery prosaic and cliché, and the conclusion inevitable. Nothing about this film impressed or surprised me - except how much everyone loved it. I was bored, and bitterly disappointed.
