Brilliant sci fi thriller

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2019)

Matthew McConaughey is brilliant in this flick about a team of astronauts trying to save the human race from extinction. But obstacles also present in the form of narcissists willing to do anything to grab the glory of rescuing humanity. This stars Matt Damon in an unexpected role - in which he (again) excels. Anne Hathaway is the lead supporting, as well as Michael Caine and John Lithgow. David Gyasi is excellent as one of the astronauts. This is a nicely cast, beautifully acted flick with an amazing score, and especially fantastic on a big screen. There are logic flaws but they may be forgiven in light of the other perfections. Well worth your time and money.
