lost in space

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2016)

5 thousand passengers set sail for a 120 year tour. computer failure results in chris pratt coming out of hibernation way early. he gets lonely and decides Jennifer Lawrence would make good company. they fall in love and have sex. I couldn't help but think that this is a mans' fantasy kind of movie. our hero is lonely. so he wakes up the prettiest girl in the pool. how about one of the guys for one on one basketball or fantasy football. too homoerotic for a 120 million dollar production. probably. so go with sexy man and pretty girl. fail safe. add to this a very boring story and you've got your self one bomb. Jennifer Lawrence is the star so she'll get the blame. chris better get back to those dinosaurs-quick. it looks expensive, though. a big disappointment. with Christmas falling on a Sunday and a low per screen average, I don't see $250 million to cover costs. i'd hope to be wrong. it's odd they would release this so soon after "arrival." p.s. the movie was a hit after all, especially overseas. I still stick by my review. the film got a 31 on rotten tomatoes and 41 from metacritic.
