I don't know why this movie has caused so much turmoil, upheaval. It is a boring movie that in several scenes tries to imitate the beautiful 2001 A Space Odyssey. It is so improbable and full of errors. No doubt the special effects are very good indeed. The development of the picture is monotonous, has useless dialogue and it could have been more interesting if it had different situations, not just the blackness of space for 125 minutes. Music is good, photography is also good. It is a typical Hollywood movie, with several situations that are definitively not possible in real life to long to mention here!! It only deserves the best effects Oscar.
