Feminist Nightmare (spoliers)

Rating: 3/10 (10 October 2013)

So, I gave this film three stars for the interesting editing and effects.
Was this film written this way? Was the main character always supposed to be a woman? If so, why bother accrediting her character as a doctor and an astronaut when you never had any intention of letting her save herself?
Beef #1 - From the opening scene until the end, the film revolves around a whiny scientist who is scared and uncomfortable in space. Why would she ever be up there? Perhaps it's a punishment for letting her daughter die? Give me a break.
Beef #2 - Why in the HELL did Sandy Bullock ever need to appear in her underwear? Was this really necessary? I know nothing about space, but I can tell you that I do know that a space suit protects an astronaut from the freezing and lethal environments in the space vacuum. If I knew that the "shelter" I was about to enter would be hit by flying debris at any moment, I would not shed that protective suit down to my undies and curl up into a ball in front of a window. REALLY?
Beef #3 - So, we let this character be a doctor, and an astronaut, but we couldn't let her save herself now, could we? We had to necromancy and bring a man back into the picture to save the day. Gag me.
Smaller beefs - I don't need Clooney to hit on ever woman he ever stars opposite. It's disgusting. Sandra Bullock is a woman, not a meat bag. Who cares about your cute eyes or ass or anything between the two? Can men and women just be colleagues, ever?!
By the end of this film I was hoping that upon re-entry, she would drown. Sad. I'm a horrible person, but it seemed realistic given the powerless stance that the character was given.
