The characters aren't interesting in the least. And the movie just spends its first two acts following these boring people around talking while nothing happens. The sound design is absolutely awful - f-tier. The characters whisper or mumble 90% of the time. Then there will be a random scene with aggressively loud noise like a storm or over dramatic cliched movie music, so if you turn ip your sound to hear the constantly whispered dialogue it will blow your ears out.

After an hour on the ground setting up sentimental relationship with the uninteresting characters, and excuses to wander into random lab after lab to hear dialogue about sciencey ideas to make the audience feel like geniuses for sort of grasping the stupid idea... it's finally in space.

Two good things about this movie: -it will help you fall asleep (that is, if you turn the sound to a volume reasonable to its random Loud! Scenes) -it will let you know that anyone you meet whonsays this is the greatest sci fi movie or the greatest sci fi movie ever is not only pompous but tasteless.
