Definitely worth to see, but do not expect this to be another ALIEN movie

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2016)

For a science fiction drama movie on space, this movie was surprisingly good. I was at first a little bit skeptical as I thought I would be bored with only 2 people playing in it. However, both Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence were big enough actor/actress that they could fill the whole movie by themselves. Of course Michael Sheen as the android was also a favorable character. The movie pace was understandably a bit slow for a drama movie. But Chris Pratt was playing such a charming character that I was sure audience would root for him. His characterization was very nicely done. Jennifer Lawrence certainly got a good chemistry with Chris Pratt in this movie. Their relationship seemed quite realistic as well.
There was also a surprise character showing up in the last 20 minutes. Despite the scenes were not a lot, but his presence made a lot of sense and also added the much needed information/explanation to the whole story. Now whether this movie had a happy ending, or a sad tragic ending, I would let you see it for yourself.
If I have to categorize this movie, it would fall into the category of romantic drama with space ship as the background and some nice special effects (scenes when there was zero gravity on the ship were cool, or the breathtaking scene outside the spaceship). But please do not mistake this as a full action space adventure movie like Alien quadrology. You would be very disappointed if that was what you were expecting. In the end, this was more of a love story and quite a beautiful one if I may add. I know my wife was touched with Jim and Aurora's relationship.
So if you are looking for romance movie on space, with some brief suspenseful events in the last part of the movie, then this one is definitely for you. But if you are looking for action on space type of movie, then it's better to watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Movie.
