Great score, great editing, great acting

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2015)

This was a weird experience. I just expected it to be a pretty dark, serious film (along the vein of interstellar). I purposely always avoid trailer for fear of spoilers, and so I was not prepared at all for how light and humorous the film is. Upon checking the screenwriter being Drew Godard, it made sense, but i guess all the humor in a space film (just because Gravity and interstellar are so fresh in the mind) threw me off guard. I appreciated it as much as I disliked it. I felt like the humor was pretty off at times, and the film didn't warrant its running time. It tried to cram in a lot of characters. But on the flipside, there's such a genuine good-heartedness to the whole thing. It managed to make the earth scenes work, and of course Matt Damon's scenes are aces. I'm just not sure how much I liked it, but this is definitely less of a passion film than both Gravity and Interstellar. I don't see it making any big awards splash in a few months, it's just too light and dare I say it, disposable?
