To be honest, a space adventure with Clooney and Bullock did sound very unappealing. However the experience of the film is mostly a positive one. Two astronauts are in the process of repairing a damaged vessel when the debris of a destroyed spaceship hits them, with the rest of the film being about their struggle for survival in zero gravity conditions.

Whilst great job has been done to keep the audience engaged throughout, several questions will ultimately be raised on the plausibility of certain events although it is mostly a film about survival in alien conditions.

Ultimately, this is a very mixed bag of impressions. Good film, but without sharing the prevailing enthusiasm.
