I don't know how this movie won any kind of award. I watched it with a friend of mine and his two kids. It was barely watchable for the adults and the kids found it totally boring. It's basically a movie that has Sandra Bullock talking to no one for half the movie. The other half she is talking to George Clooney. I'm a Sci-Fy person and found this movie very very slow. She uses up all her oxygen and has only 5% left but keeps hyperventilating. Somehow the air never runs out. She has to read the manual on how to operate the various equipment and somehow gets it all right. Even on the Chinese space station she somehow manages to push all the right buttons to get the escape pod to deploy. I am so glad I paid less than $10 at Wal_mart for this movie.
