Highly Enjoyable

Never trust a film critic. Never trust a "reviewer" that shouts out "Don't watch this movie!". Why? Is your taste the same as mine?
I am a science and science fiction aficionado and I loved this movie. It is a cross between Wall-E and the short-lived Ascension. The science is sound and there is a scene in the pool that is absolutely remarkable to watch. Watching that ship plow through space, being protected by a force field is very cool. In fact, all the science, all the gadgets, and especially watching the ship first identify a problem, then repair itself is the stuff of dreams. Watching Pratt's character try to get a cup of coffee that is outside his ticket class is very funny.
There are many beautifully realized scenes in this movie. Pratt standing outside the ship before deactivating his magnetic boots then launching himself out into space is very cool. And little touches such as his tether automatically attaching itself to his suit are great too. The cyborg bar tender, with its cool, matter of fact delivery, is a welcome counterpoint to the main action. And those sets! Whether real or CGI, they're spectacular.
Of course there are parts that are totally outside the realm of possibility. One glaringly unrealistic scene is the where Pratt has to open the reactor vent door from the outside and gets caught in the fiery hot blast from the reactor. And survives! Nuh uh. Not gonna happen in real life. But this is after all, a movie and the scene was cool anyway.
So, Watch this movie!
