Not a new story, technically disappointing, PC run amok

Rating: 3/10 (1 November 2015)

I'll confess up front I have an engineering and aerospace background. That said, I'll also be clear that I view other movies in this genre very positively. The science and tech in this movie rates low, a 2 or 3 out of 10 at best. I know, it's Hollywood, but go watch Apollo 13 from 20 years ago and you'll see a much better film about space travel.
This film is also disappointing in it's apparent push to show females and minorities in every role possible. In reality, the science field is heavily male, heavily white and Asian. This movie would have you believe otherwise. It's like they went out of their way to avoid white males in the technical roles.
The one bit of skin (naked butt) and few uses of curse words (most heard on cable already) are both unneeded.
There's virtually no character emotional development. See Hanks in Castaway for a much better story about being marooned.
I will think twice before seeing any Ridley Scott movie again. Not worth a full price ticket in my opinion.
