I know a lot of reviewers have given this movie high praise,while I admire the effort from cast and crew there are aspects which really grated when I I saw it. Apart from the fact that the movie is long and scenes could have been deleted to make a tighter film, I was distracted by the loud music orchestrated for the movie. I felt that having silence for the space scenes would have been more effective for suspense than playing music which reminded me of watching a horror movie that became louder as the scenes more suspenseful.And I am sorry but the special effects were not impressive and disappointing. For the money spent this was a waste that could have been better and how about a blatant ripoff of the movie 2001 which though made in 1968 was far superior to this. OK it will make money but for me once was enough. I guess the 6 people in the cinema with me would agree.
