A space romance under a sci-fi plot

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2017)

The plot was exceptional for a sci-fi flick, two passengers travelling alone in the infinite space with no one for company, except the robotic bartender. The initial set up was good which was done in the first 20 minutes.
The cast selection was the added advantage. Chris Pratt as Jim and Jennifer Lawrence as Aurora have portrayed a wonderful chemistry. The acting of both the leads has been the high of the movie. Especially the no-gravity scene was the top notch.
But once the story has been set the dragging begins. Like Avalon (The spaceship) the story does search for a way to move along. At times the story derails from the Sci-fi genre, in simple words a romantic movie in space. The dialogues too have less impact and don't stay in our mind. The last 30 minutes of the movie is the savior, it manages to keep the audience engaged.
The movie is worth a watch for the lead pair and the last 30 minutes. But sci-fi feel not guaranteed.
