Not a giant blockbuster space opera

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2017)

I'm surprised how harsh the critics have been on this movie. I enjoyed the character development, story and chemistry between Pratt and Lawrence. Some good humor mixed in especially the scenes with Sheen. It is not a giant blockbuster space opera if that is what you are expecting. It exposes the fear and tough choices you might be faced with in a crisis and the human side of interstellar travel. It is very well shot and visual appealing, but if you want to wait it would be a good one to watch at home too. I look forward to more from this director (The Imitation Game) and writer (Prometheus).
