Huge amounts of CGI and loads of dramatic noise. Very little acting or dialogue and a completely unrealistic story line. Some scenes would probably have been more at home in a Brian Cox documentary about space.

It really doesn't grip, although one or 2 scenes do hold the attention for a few seconds and there are a few moments of genuine emotion. However, this is no great. Sci-fi epic. In reality it's a rather boring vehicle for a couple of big names to have some fun and make oddles of cash. Yes, the scenes in space look dramatic, with lots of whirling around and dodging assorted debris but they're also utterly unrealistic. No doubt many will have been captivated by it all but I prefer something with a bit more acting, script, dialogue and reality.
