Nothing more than action, playing with your senses, all form, no content

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 2013)

I agree with reviewer tcara111. An empty film this one, truly empty.
Strange though, how ones body can react so intensely on something that is about nothing at all. Seen in 3D, it makes you dance around in your chair, dodging space dust, grabbing your seat, engaging with the bodies of the characters, who risk floating into deep space forever if they can't hold on to the space station.
But this is the sole thing the film does. It plays with your senses, and nothing more.
This is just fetish: fetish with new effects, used as toys, to play with your eyes, ears, and sense of suspension.
And at the end you have nothing. Nothing, nothing.
Nothing wrong with entertainment. Loved Pirates of the Caribbean, of the same director. A very funny film, colorful characters.
But this is not only not funny, it is anti-funny. The jokes are so lame, made of the same wood as the jokes Indiana Jones makes: making ironic remarks while in an impossible situation. Hollywood seems to have a monopoly on this stupid form of irony, which made exactly zero people laugh in the theater.
So 1 star, because 1: this film is about nothing at all and 2: it is about nothing, nothing at all.
