Better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2017)

Surprisingly this science fiction movie without big battles or tonnes of special effects is engrossing.
The premise is a bit hard to accept - that the planet would be so far away and people would give up all they know for something unknown via such a long journey. But once you accept the premise of this intergalactic journey to a colony planet it's quite interesting.
Chris Pratt slightly overweight is likable enough. Jennifer Lawrence - yes her again is has a good on screen rapport with him. Michael Sheen is the robot.
A little of their previous lives would have made things more poignant.
Things worked out alright and the drama is quite moving when it needs to be.
