8/10 It can get lonely in space

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2017)

Chris Pratt has come a long way since his first appearance in Parks & Recreation . He has trimmed up and now a bankable star and well worth the reported $12m from an $110 budget , not sure Laurence Fishburn deserved his $20m though . Jennifer Lawrence is the star here , her characterisation was perfect and thoroughly scary at times .
When I write my reviews I am very careful not to include any spoilers so rather than elaborate on the above I will concentrate on the story and technical aspects
Basically it's a Robinson Crusoe moral love story in space and it plays it well . Well written , good supporting cast especially Martin Sheen as the android barman . The set is spectacular but that is a necessity for the big screen but you could transport this love story to the small stage .
It's a likable film with likable characters although scary at times . A love story with moral dilemmas and sacrifices .
Best science fiction film of 2017 so far .
Enjoy.
