eadweard-60989 An American astronaut, a Russian suit, and a Chinese landing machine come home. It's a bit ironic.

Michael Ledo I found the film boring. Sure the view was stunning. Great sets. Great actors. But seriously, what did you expect would happen after disaster struck? One of two things were going to happen: Either they were going to survive or they won't. The film is consumed with us getting to that point. Sandra Bullock in a space suit reading a tech manual trying to figure out what button to push. Real? Authentic? Sure, but so was my yawn.The visual effects are great on the big screen. I will be honest. I despise films which consist of one person being trapped and having to survive the whole film, because I know one of two things are going to happen...What the film really needed was a big rubber headed alien to save them and probe their privates.Sure, I would have complained about that too, but at least I would have stayed awake.BTW I loved 2001 because it mentally engaged me. This one did not because I knew one of two things were going to happen...Parental Guide: Bullock lets loose one early F-bomb after a few S***s didn't suffice. 3 1/2 stars for Bullock in shorts. What did I do with my copy of "Fire on the Amazon?"

brianknox The only aspect of this movie that stopped me from walking out of the theater halfway through was the visual effects. Other than that, this film had almost no story or character development and an awful script. Would you like me to summarize it for you? Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are astronauts who encounter an increasingly dangerous situation when on a routine mission in space. George Clooney dies, and then about every 20 minutes something new (very predictably) goes wrong. A frantic and overly emotional Sandra Bullock (very predictably) manages to work around each problem at the last possible second until she (very predictably) makes it back to Earth. The worst of all is when she seems to have "given up" and a dead George Clooney appears to her in some sort of corny hallucination and instructs her on how to escape her latest peril.This is movie is the epitome of what I hate about major Hollywood movies...extreme predictability riddled with fake "suspense." As a viewer, never did I once believe that the final outcome would be anything other than Sandra Bullock safely returning home. Without the stunning visual effects, this movie would be completely unwatchable. I will never understand how or why critics were so high on this movie, but this is just one of many terrible movies of the last decade to receive such undeserved acclaim.

kteijo After seeing this second time I cant but wonder... sure if someones think actors really were in space. But c'mon, where is the point of this. Lot easier make lot better movie of murphy's law than in "space". 2 stars for one joke even there "this is not rocker-sience"
