I like to watch movies twice to get a full idea of what is going on but only caught this once.

For starters it is fantastically filmed in 3D , which takes it to another level as viewing is concerned. I feel the story was minimalised for the big screen from the book as it didn't have enough narrative and should maybe have had more solo self observation scenes but like I said , having not read the book I cannot say.

Good solid performances all around and a real feel good vibe. Plenty of nonsense and gung -ho American spirit..at one point I expected Ed Harris to show up and shout yeehah.

Great way to spend 141 minutes away from the norm of life though and both me and my 12 yr old daughter enjoyed it largely due to the quality of the 3D filming..the space scenes were absolutely magnificent.

Blast off to the nearest cinema and enjoy.
