I felt compelled to watch this movie due to the good reviews.

I can only say that having watched the movie, the only reason you're likely to enjoy it is if you fall into one of the following two categories: A) You have a below average IQ. B) You become mesmerised by the setting, sound track and visuals but simultaneously forget what actually makes a good movie.

The storyline and script was so weak my brain almost shut down at times, Bullock's character was so annoying I ended up wanting to slap her and really, Clooney in space? There was no logic either, the whole thing was so unbelievable, I found myself laughing out loud at how preposterous it got on more than one occasion.

Which begs the question, how on earth did this movie gain a rating of over 8? Personally, I came out feeling robbed of both cash and valuable time. My roommate felt the same.
