The big budget thriller is a double edged sword. On one hand, everything was expensive, so it looks fantastic, and if you think space is cool, it's easy to get wrapped up in the awe inspiring special effects. On the other hand, it swings big every chance it gets resulting in a slew of unbelievably narrow escapes and unnecessary sentimentality. Still a fun popcorn flick if you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride.
