That's the movie in a nutshell. Disaster strikes less that 10 minutes into the movie and just doesn't let up. It was tense and edge-of-the-seat for a while but got extremely predictable half way through. Sadly, the story doesn't evolve into into something bigger/better. I can't believe the hype around this movie. For me it didn't come anywhere close the drama in Apollo 13 or Moon, both of which I found riveting.

On all technical and production aspects this movie gets high marks. This is the most authentic looking space exploration movie yet. The way they've depicted objects interaction with each other in space is frankly astounding. Great cinematography and score. This movie should be quite an Oscar contender for the technical awards.
