I must have watched another movie because this was average at best

Rating: 3/10 (19 April 2015)

I had extremely high expectations about this movie based on ratings although I knew there seem to be two groups of raters: Those who rate it as if it's the best movie ever made, and those who didn't like it and think the high ratings are overrated.
After seeing this movie I know I belong to the latter category.
I expected an epic, exciting, well let's say "SciFi-themed" movie with depth. Definitely not an action flick, this was clear before I watched and action flicks are *normally* not even my thang anyway.
But I was disappointed. I didn't felt anything "epic" about this movie, instead it dragged along, dragged along..and more so.
While the plot, in theory, could be considered deep and philosophical there were too many clichés in the movie and parts which made the movie more like into a forced "tearjerker movie" for the Lifetime channel, rather than a serious movie which would open for philosophical questions and debates.
Some parts were actually outrageously hideous, seemed forced and misplaced, like the part where in the middle of the movie the female scientist starts rambling off about the importance of love. (Don't get me wrong, this may well all philosophically and spiritually 'right', however selected scientists on a spaceship on a mission are hardly people who'd start with new-age "stoner talk" in the middle of the mission. I didn't buy this at all.
I am not even speaking of countless of plot-holes in the movie, such as the escape for humanity allegedly needs a wormhole "to another galaxy". Why to another galaxy? Is our own galaxy with billions of stars not big enough for a potential other Earth? The movie after some time developed into a mere "human drama" flick with less than perfect special effects on occasion. I also found it rather boring, at times I rolled my eyes. One of the VERY FEW movies I could see me walking out of the theatre.
Someone else mentioned the "fantastic sound track by Hans Zimmer". As so many who watch movies, I of course know Hans Zimmer sound tracks, some of them you simply can't forget, they're often simple but brilliant. But I found this movie's sound track very poor, if not outright awful. The fact that the awful soundtrack repeated and repeated (as is often the case with Hans Zimmer tracks :) just added to the monotony and boring-nens of the movie.
Overall I was very disappointed. After the almost three hours I looked at the clock and felt I entirely wasted this time.
