Life is a journey, enjoy living it

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2017)

The movie is simple, but profound. It's not about romantic notions of youth or sci-fi adventures, though we are treated to very enthralling action sequences, nonetheless. It's about discovering your true self and developing a rewarding connection with another sole that could be truly life saving.
Enveloping space sceneries pull you into the cosmic depths. The rotating space ship makes you feel like sailing though the skies rather than feeling trapped in a tin can. Superb acting, when facial expressions are all you need to feel an array of conflicting emotions, makes the movie a delight to watch. Very true to life glitches caused by the electronic brain create a creditable environment.
The moral dilemma Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) faces seems so outrageous to many, but don't we all pursue our desires and base our actions on what we want without giving a thought of what others need. We violate the free will of other people easily on a daily basis.
The movie offers an interesting concept, how it feels, when you free yourself of all social, corporate and family constraints. What remains of you, if you dissociate yourself from all imposed duties and obligations. Suffering of the people stranded without an illusory purpose and personal value is ineffable, unless they could look into themselves and find courage to trust and really know another human being.
Jon Spaihts encourages us to search for answers to the multiple questions. What is real happiness and how to achieve it, if you have no society to feed you egoistic mind and encourage you cravings for the things that boost your self-importance. Does your happiness depend on the place, surroundings, situations and events, or you are still the same person despite the change of scenery. Dou you really always need to be in another place and spend your life waiting for something better?
Many viewers find the concept of just being and living your life boring, but it's the only thing that we have.
