A painful waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2015)

Like quite a few others I'm giving this one star to balance out countless 10 star reviews.
My wife and I watched this because of the high average review on this site. I won't bother describing why the movie was so bad. Others have done a great job. It was like watching a three hour train-wreck, or a regular train wreck shown in super slow motion over several hours.
Unfortunately I can't just leave it at that, because I have to write at least 10 lines. So I will expand enough to say that the "science" was non-existent, special effects were poor, the pacing slow.
Perhaps the most ridiculous thing was that the astronauts had to leave earth with a 20th century three-stage rocket, but later they landed on other planets and took off again with Star Wars type landing craft. That's just one example of insane stupidity, and it just got worse and worse from there.
