Fell waaaay short of expectations

Rating: 2/10 (22 November 2014)

With such good reviews, I expected so much more of this movie. Failing to see the supposed brilliance, the only conclusion left to be drawn is over-hyped PR. Implausible and simply ridiculous at times, it's perfectly OK for a guy go on a quest for some "coordinates" only to find a top secret NASA base, who are launching a secret mission ASAP. The guy uses all the on-board instrumentation without months, even years in rigorous training because, yeah, he is a pilot. He doesn't need to do any medical exams, psychological evaluation and yet he is humanity's best hope for survival. And the library, don't get me started on that one. He is communicating with his daughter through "I'm hiding and floating behind a library cabinet, I'll just encode this data in Morse so we can twitch the second hand of her watch" crap. Seriously? I simply can't believe all the praise this is getting. It's hard to accept is as an "experience" with all the nonsense.
