I had a lot of high hopes for this movie when I watched the trailer and really thought it might be good. Boy oh boy, I couldn't have been more wrong.

I cannot believe this movie has received so much credit from the media. If you compare this to other movies in the same genre, aka 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Alien movies, close encounters of the third kind. OK, maybe you say it's not fair to compare it to those movies, but even a movie like Moon was better. The only good thing about this movie was the visual effects. This movie has some of the best special effects I have ever seen in a space film, however the rest of the movie is horrific to say the least. The biggest mistake they made was putting Sandra Bullock as the main character. Someone like Sigourney Weaver, Noomi Rapace or even a less popular actor would have played a much better role. The acting was bad, there was no real or interesting storyline, the characters wasn't interesting, just nothing.

Don't believe the hype !
