Unexpected Gem

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2017)

This film was not like I expected, it was better.
Imagine the idea of waking up to a better life, only to realize that a stranger has stolen it from you? Then realize he's also stolen the opportunity to see or connect with another human being for the rest of your days? All because of his own selfish loneliness.
As Jennifer Lawrence comes to terms with her own mortality on a floating piece of tin, Chris Pratt tries to come to terms with his "crime" while desperately trying to find a way to redeem himself.
While it is a love story in deep space, it's done in a unique and engaging way.
I'm also mindful of the bartender Arthur (played by Michael Sheen)creeeeepy! Possibly a tribute to a similar bartender aka the shining, which kind of adds another layer to the film.
Definitely worth the watch!
