Okay-ish, but certainly not as bad as the critics made it.

Rating: 6/10 (3 May 2017)

A lot of critics and audiences really did not care for this movie.
To be honest, the film was highly watchable. Fantastic score, great acting and beautiful cinematography.
The story in itself aspires to be something bigger than it actually is. Chris Pratt's character is woken up ninty years too early on a ship who's destination to another planet takes 100 years. To his horror, he finds out he is the only other person on the spaceship who is awake. He becomes so lonely after spending a year with no one else but a robot for company, that he decides, very reluctantly, to wake up Jennifer Lawrence's character, for good company.
What he does is really quite horrible, but to be honest, can you blame him after spending so much time alone? Everyone complained that the film pussy-foots around this issue, but I thought it really does illustrate how bad Jim's actions were towards Aurora.
Everything in this film is certainly on the surface, but it's a very cute surface. It reminded me of WALL-E a bit, not least because of beautiful score by Thomas Newman.
6 out 10
