I am sure Clooney and Bullock were chosen for these parts because of their box office draw power. The trailer for this movie hyped it for special effects and the story.  Thank goodness Clooney went into the great void early in the movie because his continual dialog clatter was not only inane but annoying. Then we have to endure the Meryl Streepesque emotional ups and downs of Bullock as she morphed from someone who was apprehensive about being on a first space trip to someone whose inner strength and the desire for survival give her the intestinal fortitude to persevere. I felt like I was watching Open Water or Thirst where there is no good ending. Bullock does innovatively get back to earth alive. The only redeeming part of this movie is that the run time was only an hour and a half. One minute longer and I would have been screaming. This was absolutely the worst and most boring movie I have seen in a long time. And to think I paid extra to see it in real 3D just to see the mediocre special effects.

Don’t waste your time on this one. Don’t even rent it. For sure, don’t buy it. Don’t even waste time watching it when it comes to network TV.
