Overlong and no joy

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2014)

Jessica Chastain was a bright spot, but I found no joy in this overlong, somewhat tedious movie. I had high hopes for this film, but found it predictable and pretentious. I wanted to love it; constantly distracted and wondering why there wasn't more innovation. And really,an oblong robot? How does that work on a spaceship? After the first planet, I longed to go to the other two. Please, let's go see them. Instead, we were sent to this ridiculous and supposedly 5th dimensional "reality" that had absolutely no purpose. The movie quickly ran out of inspiration, surprise and excitement. Yawn.
Not fun.
