Fun, until you start thinking about the flaws

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2017)

I kind of enjoyed this movie for the sheer fantasy of it. It's one of those movies where you can imagine yourself in place of the actor and ask yourself "what would I do?" The problem is that what you think you would do is probably much more exciting than what the film delivers.
Mainly though, it's just fun to think about being alone in space with Jennifer Lawrence.
The plot is simple, and the action is standard. This film unfortunately offers no real surprises. It is utterly formulaic. It's the kind of film where you guess what's going to happen next, and that's exactly what happens - and you wish it hadn't, because you really, really want to like it and have it take you on a journey.
It's a pretty film, but not a very smart one. Kind of like Chris Pratt.
