THOUGHTS AND BEST BITS
When Clooney just comes flying out of nowhere and grabs bullock after shes been floating around for ages.
Blaaa this movies just a bit to simple a bit to slow. It has next to no build up and once it starts it just keeps rolling to the end credits. No real change of pace. And with a limited cast it gives you very little to watch other than Bullock spinning around in space for an hour.
Acting wise its pretty good for what it is. I mean its almost all Bullock so if you think its gonna be a big cast like APOLLO 13(1995) then fucking brace yourself cause its not. Its 80% Bullock and Clooney has a cameo really. With the mental extreme camera angles and constant moving its almost impossible to see any emotion or acing from her. and the rest of the cast are just voices in headsets. We have two scenes with chances of showing emotion but instead one is kept on a nice wide angle of Bullock while she floats... sure it shows of her hot little bod but still a missed chance. And then the second scene is sort or frustratingly boring as its got mixed emotions of whats going on in the film and with her. You get the felling the director was a little lost in space while making this movie. So acting wise bit of a let down.
Watchability wise its not great chances are once you see it you never will again. Its not like CONTACT(1997) where it has a few change ups and different cast members to like or dislike and goes through a few different scenes and locations. Its all in space and all spinning around like fucking crazy almost no character build up so you dont really care much about them and they kill of Clooney early on. Oops spoilers lol so then its just Bullock floating around from station to station trying to get back to earth and its trying to push some emotion and reasons but fails to do so. All in not worth bothering about.
