Like Gravity, except better

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2015)

Everyone compares this movie to Interstellar simply because it has two of its cast members and somewhat of a similar purpose when it's actually more akin to Gravity (which in my opinion is a vastly overrated turd of a movie). Though the quality is close to what Interstellar achieved, this movie is very different. Rather than being a tale of optimism, the feeling of survival in the grimmest of circumstances is constantly reinforced by so many things going wrong in Mark's (Matt Damon) desperate attempt to live long enough for rescue.
Overall, this movie is quite solid. It suffers at time from slow pacing, but then again most space movies are quite long and require such to really get it to work. Matt Damon, like in Interstellar, puts on a hell of a show as his character, while having far more screen time to make an impression. We see him at his heights and his dips in this movie, and all are worth watching.
I'm not going to spoil too much, nor am I going to dive into what makes this movie worth watching too heavily, but I will say I cannot endorse this movie enough. It's easily one of the better movies of the year, and also should be watched in 3D.
If you liked Interstellar, you'll like this. If you liked Gravity, you'll like this as well. If you never watched either, watch this movie. If you've never watched a movie, watch this movie. It's worth your money.
What are you waiting for?
