Very disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (9 November 2014)

I am really amazed at the good reviews this is getting on here, as I found it a huge disappointment. Absolutely nothing about it makes any sense; in fact no single moment in the film follows logically from anything that was happening 15 minutes earlier. The "science" is ridiculous: a six-inch deep ocean with 200-foot waves is one of the more believable elements. The motivation of the characters changes from minute to minute, and they seem bound and determined to make the worst choice whenever faced with a decision. The special effects are unimaginative; Kubrick did it all better, without CGI, 50 years ago. The bombastic music's only virtue is that it drowns out the ludicrous dialogue. And the final resolution of the central mystery is utterly nonsensical; involving manually transmitting what must be many, many gigabytes of data in Morse code via the second hand of an old wristwatch. WT*? Definitely NOT recommended.
