Be a Passenger and Enjoy this Movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2017)

Enjoying this movie requires that you 1) know how to suspend disbelief because if you fancy yourself with the knowledge of an astrophysics/aerospace tech PhD and are looking for flaws in its science to demonstrate your superior intellect, you will find them; 2) have the ability to put yourself in a character's shoes and admit that humanly speaking, you could see yourself behaving the same way; 3) forget, for an hour and 56 minutes, all of the other similarly plotted movies you have seen and fairy tales that you've heard and stories that you've read, with which you can catalog comparisons in your head while you're watching to later expose the writers of plagiarism; 4) resist the temptation to compare the characters to the characters played by the actors in other movies and, last but not least, 5) remove the chip on your shoulder, if you have one, regarding relationships the shouldn't happen a certain way. You have been warned. Life is too short to not allow yourself a little escape from knee-jerk analysis. This movie is a fun ride.
