Why was this movie made? What was the purpose? Other than showing some great special effects, there's nothing more to it.

There is absolutely no story. The few lines are so cliché. There are no relationships between the 2 actors. Nothing. It has no soul. Its just Sandra struggling in space. And even though i like Sandra Bullock and i believe her acting here is amazing, for what she was given to work with, having to sit for 1 and 1/2 hrs just to watch her float in space is too much.

The only interesting thing was the story about the girl with the hairy guy. Still wondering what happened there.
