The longer version: WHY is this movie receiving so much hype? What a LOSER! Not only is it BORING, but dishonors the brave men and women who are REAL astronauts. Sorry, Neil Armstrong . not even a BABY STEP for mankind in this stinker.
Every possible cliché is at work here: the damsel in distress, the strip of the damsel, the depression of the damsel, the refusal of the damsel to obey orders, the damsel repeatedly wailing what do I do nowwwwww? , etc. How this lame-o brilliant medical engineer EVER qualified to be an astronaut is not explained ( must be due to all the budget cut-backs) .
Similarly, the other astronaut, George Clooney, a know-it-all wise guy, suicidally releases himself into deep space early on for no good reason . so we’re stuck with Ms. Lame-o and weak special effects for most of the movie .
Said damsel is the flyweight actress Sandra Bullock - whining, preceding every other line with a snurfff ( Best Boy! get that woman some Benadryl! ), and heavy breathing sum up her portrayal. You wouldn’t want HER along as a member of the team, well, anywhere . even Disney World .
WhyEVER would George Clooney lend his name to such bunkum?
Don’t waste your money . and the 3-D . laughable - not EVEN worth it
