This was an incredible film visually, it kept you on the seat of your pants throughout. Sandra Bullock was a good fit to her part, George Clooney however was in no way believable as an Astronaut. Where the film was confident visually, the dialogue really did not help. I felt at the end as did my friend that it would have benefited from a lot less dialogue and back story which was not necessary at all and felt like a filler required for the majority audience. If the film had been filmed in a foreign language and I had not understood a word it would have had more impact. Great films that are suspenseful do not need dialogue to assist, it is in the quiet and with the music and sound and visual views that one really gains a sense of Space. The music was absolutely fantastic. A good film but perhaps could have benefited with a little less Hollywood style influences.
