Saw it in 2D with my wife.
I'm not a space geek but I do work at a science museum and have more than a passing interest in space. Even to me the thing with him unclasping because he was drifting away and pulling her with him made no sense, also hard to believe all those air locks and controls had commonality. However in most movies there is a suspension of reality to some bit (except for zombies... we all know zombies are real right?) It certainly wasn't boring and I would recommend it. Oh, and do astronauts really wear underwear under their spacesuits? Pretty sure there are a few layers under the spacesuit right?

I watched it on a plane a few days ago. It seemed like a very average movie. Not terrible but not great either. I was suprised to see it was nominated for so many awards. I was more suprised to hear it won alot of them.
Sandra's but and legs looked pretty good as far as I could tell from the in flight entertainment

I likely wasn't very clear in my arm chair quarterback's short review, but my angle is that I enjoyed the visuals immensely (and said so), I just felt that the rest wasn't a match for such beautiful cinematography. And while Sandra is indeed a beautiful woman, Clooney's voice really started to annoy me. I didn't feel compelled to see it more than once.
But they walked away with a mother load of awards, so WTF do I know? Not much...

Yeah, if you didn't see this in IMAX 3D, you should have. (Sandra's very fine butt and legs, notwithstanding). Maybe it will come around again.
Sort of like listening to Dark Side of the Moon on the single speaker in the dash of your mom's '73 Caprice Estate wagon.. Not quite optimum... And, sometimes a plot takes a backseat. I can think of a lot of really great musical pieces whose lyrics don't matter to me either, one iota. JR |
