Not as Good as I Wanted It to Be, But Still Very Good

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2017)

Director David Espinosa does a fantastic building tension within the film. As the stakes grow, the tension rises, and it's incredibly palpable. I would say this tension that was built was far scarier than really anything they showed in the movie, because it's all about the setting. This atmosphere encapsulates the movie in its entirety, and it makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The performances across the board are also really good. I'll talk more about the characters themselves, but the performances by the actors are very good. Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson, and Hiroyuki Sanada all delivered, though I was expecting them to be good. I was surprised with how good Olga Dihovichnaya and Ariyon Bakare were, simply because I haven't really seen them on screen before. They were really good in this movie, and I enjoyed them quite a bit. The wire work in this film cannot be praised enough! The entire movie takes place in zero gravity, and everything they did to seamlessly make it feel like they were actually in space paid off tremendously. The wire work paired with the CGI made all the space shots look absolutely incredible...
