Ratings and reviews

May be one of the worst recent sci-fi movies. Poor uninteresting plot, unlikable mannequin of a protagonist, random needless occurences that serve no purpose other than to make the run time longer, idiotic characters getting into cartoonish danger and a comical lack of realism with someone literally jumping into a higher orbit around Neptune. Should have just made a movie about pirates on the moon. Would give 0/5 if I could.

10/10 best sleep aid in history. . . So let down by this film, some of my favourite films include sunshine and interstellar, so I thought this was worth a watch. . . It really wasn't. There is almost no 'sience' in this science fiction. Story / moral is just pointless and as looks go it's nothing special in this age. Put it this way, I am on here wrighting this as the film is ending because it was that naff. Save yourself a couple of hours of your life and watch anything else

I had wanted to see this at the cinema but didn't get the chance, so pre-ordered it from Google. I have very mixed feelings about the film. There are some excellent parts and the film promises to be really interesting. The plots builds to suggest something interesting has been discovered, but then doesn't deliver. There are some very good scenes with good special effects, but to be a great film, it needs a plot that gives us something worth waiting for. My problem is with the final third. It is such an anticlimax. This is the main reason so many claim the film is boring.
