Very Surprised. Could not finish watching.

Rating: 3/10 (13 October 2015)

Preface: Watched first half on Netflix.
I chose not to see this movie in theatres for the same reasons that I did not like this film. I am on the fence as to whether or not it would have been a better experience in theaters or if the effects would have proved too confusing and disorientating.
Review : Myself and my partner tried to watch this over the weekend on Netflix. I have to say that I am *really* surprised this film reviewed so well. It is certainly one of the worst movies I have ever tried to watch, and the first from memory that I could not bring myself to finish.
These statements are made in part, because of science. I have a rudimentary understanding of orbital physics. Every single thing about this movie is wrong. Not only wrong, but completely absurd to the point of that it could likely never happen, even if we (the human race) spent great effort in both time and money to intentionally cause it to happen. The laws of Physics simply do not work that way.
I have since joked to friends that Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen is in fact a more Scientifically accurate film. Its funny. And mean. And also True. It's is more likely that an intelligent extra terrestrial race of robots exists somewhere in the universe and will come to Earth to subjugate the human race, than the vast majority of scenes in this movie are likely to happen in real life.
***POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
I was up in arms after the opening scene. Once George's character asked to be "let go" because he was "dragging her down" - I had had enough. At the 45 minute mark my girlfriend had also become so bored that she asked if we could watch something else. So we turned it off.
Very unimpressed. As mentioned before, I am not even sure if the visual effects could have save this if I had watched it in theatres.
