Ratings and reviews

I am not a fan of Ethan hawk but movie was ok.....I found him tolerable because of supporting cast....just like training day Denzel carried that whole movie effortlessly.

I literally waited the entire movie for him to fly to space and see the wonders of Titan... That part never happened and instead I wasted my time on an absolutely sub par plot with acting at about the same. What a steaming pile.

This movie is often listed as one of the top sci-fi movies ever made. It's not a special-effects-laden spectacle intended for a summer movie blockbuster, but it's a powerful story, with engaging characters. It's easily some of Ethan Hawke and Jude Law's best work, and they play off each other amazingly well. This is not a movie to miss, and it's well-worth more than one watch-through.
