Funny how the reality of the science in this movie doesn't seem to apply when it comes to the survival of your protagonist. Because in reality she'd have probably died half a dozen times. And what does a medical engineer have to do with repairing the Hubble anyway ? Is it ill ?
Watched it for the second time to see if there is more to it then what I saw the first time. And it's actually worse.
The movie pretty much starts with the desaster happening and since up to this point you know about nothing about the characters there is zero emotional investment. Maybe make the movie a bit longer at the beginning so we can know those guys. The SFX and the grandious score makes this appear larger than it actually is. Reduced to the story alone it is a simple survival tale with a predictable end, where our protagonist has to jump through some hoops only to come out unscathed at the end.
Looking at the Oscars they are all technical and I can get behind that. Bullock itself was nominated but didn't win and , again, I am on board with the decision. I've seen much better performances over the years.
Judging by the rating I'm rather the minority with my opinion, But that's how it is.
