I was mildly disappointed. Way too much voice over telling the audience exactly what was going on (as opposed to say 2001) and the third act was a huge letdown. It plays out exactly the way they had been telling you it would play out from the start. That “Let me Go” business was eye-rolling-ly heavy handed.
It was really more Apocalypse Now than 2001. Sure it had good space effects and a lot of quiet like 2001, but it was totally a trip up crazy river.
