Sandra Bullock, aye.

George (C)looney, nay.

The latter cancels out the former and I’ll wait for Netflix.

naw. you can’t wait for Netflix.

This film is clearly Big Screen.

Love stories and comedies are for home.

If you're going to see it, you must see it in a theatre...period.

I feel it will lose a lot on a small screen. Of course, if you have a 60” sitting on the TV stand at home...well.

Small spoiler ahead!!!!!

Visualy this movie was a masterpiece. The directors style was very different, and that gave it some variety. Not all may care for it. A bit plodding and overly faux suspenseful at times as we all know Sandra will no die. Not much plot, you just bounce from one crisis to the next, rinse repeat.

As an avid space/NASA buff, and as an engineer, I despised it. It was chocked full of “Hollywood Physics”, that made me want to scream, since it could have been made more that exciting enough without resorting to this, including the old “two climbers hanging from a single rope not strong enough to hold both of them for long” trope. Ug! YOU'RE WEIGHTLESS MORONS!!!!

And there are some nice shots of Sandra as well. Nothing with a lot of skin, but very nice none the less. I believe they tried a bit to hard to write that long pause with her in the back light (you'll know it when you see it) into the screenplay. But I suppose they had to given who it was. But it realy needs to be seen on the big screen.
