Truly Dreadful Film

Thanks for the memories!

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Boring. Just boring. Nothing is happening for the most part of the movie. Interesting concept, they could've done so much with it

Even at two hours I felt it was just a little too rushed. I understand the caution with making it run too long but it felt like an extra half hour would have gone a long way to show the significant length of time the characters spent in such solitude. They did a good job of it but a few extra minutes could have been well spent to create the feeling of loneliness first of just Jim and then both Jim and Aurora. I did feel the chemistry between Chris Pratt as Jim and Jennifer Lawrence as Aurora was extremely convincing. Both actors put forth very convincing and enjoyable performances, not to mention an excellent however brief appearance by Laurence Fishburne. The tension was well played throughout the film both between the characters and with external events. However some of the emotion seemed to be cut short where I felt it needed to linger just a little longer in several scenes and series of scenes particularly later in the film. They also needed to spend just a little more time with the two of them at the end. It felt like they just ran out of time filming and had to end it right away. Overall a very enjoyable film that could even be extended further. This could possibly make for a good directors cut in the future.

The movie could end much better if they used the capsule that allowed hybernation one by one - say one month one of them sleeps, the other is awake, spending couple of days in between together - this way they could arrive to the end of they journey only 44-45 years older (hybernation time doesn't count as life time) and fullfill their wishes and dreams to see the new world.

A good scenario and a decent budget for this movie made this one one of the better sci-fi movies in recent times.
