If it's to realistic no one believes it.

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2012)

This movie is about an eccentric billionaire on a suicidal mission. No sane person will follow this, supposedly, already dead person to his death and that's why the crew are all misfits, robots or very naive. As such they do not always act in a rational way. Many do for example think that Millburns behavior when he saw the snake where unbelievable but given his relationship to Fifield and his poor professionalism it is rather explainable; finally he saw he saw his chance to show that he had the situation under control and could escape criticism from Fifield. Stupid yes but limited people often are stupid when they try to impress and adapt socially. When we think about space travel we think of this extremely well trained and well prepared astronauts that are backed up by the whole world's science community but that are not the case here, in the future that this movie portrays space exploration is just as any other business. Given these facts I don't find their behavior is so unrealistic. What I find, though, was a very thoughtful story that got me thinking and ask questions. When it comes to the actors I think everyone did their work but I was a bit surprised that Noomi Rapace could play her role so well. She was not a hero, like Ripley, and that she showed in a very believable way. Besides from that Michael Fassbender did something out of the ordinary. I hope that the sequel will show that this was just a build up to a fantastic epic story. I hope that Ridley Scott stay white the plan and not try to adapt to the criticism.
