It was kinda hard to judge this one. Visually Stunning. Beautiful effects work. Horrible sound track. Gaping holes in physics. There was no reason for the separation of Clooney & Bullock when she's hanging from the parachute cords--they are at rest relative to the space station. If she is so short on Oxygen, why is Clooney constantly making her talk and burn through her supply? The really BIG question: How did someone this poorly trained and psychologically unsound even get approved to go into space in the first place? The only way this film works is if, 10 minutes in, Bullock's character (who is hyper-ventilating like mad) actually goes into a hallucinatory coma, and the rest of the movie is a dream. But, does that mean she ends up dreaming about dreaming? Nice fetal imagery and rebirth sequence, but was it really necessary? Too much of this movie was utter nonsense that dragged me out of any emotional attachment. And again, what's with the blaring, odious, obnoxious soundtrack? Well done drama doesn't need that heavy-handed over-bearing noise. Try using some subtlety for a change. On the other hand, the person I saw this with was emotionally exhausted and wrecked by the ordeal, and thought the movie was f-ing brilliant. Decide for yourself.
The floating pens were kinda overdone, though it was fun when she batted one out of the way.
They deliberately ignored physics? Then they deliberately ruined the main selling point of the movie!
