Unpredictable scifi
This a film based around two characters who hold the screen so well considering the limited additional cast. I’m not a major fan of either leads but they both impressed me with compelling and emotive portrayals.
The ship on a 120 year trajectory to a new planet and it is carrying over 5000 people in hibernation until one pod releases its subject too early. The plot was strong right to the end and I was expecting it to peter out. I thought it ended in a good spot.

Very entertaining
When I started this movie I wasn't sure what to expect-except the romance part. It turned out to be much more than that. It's a great sci-fi drama that was surprisingly intense and entertaining. The acting was great and the cinematography/ imagery/ effects were beautifully done. If you enjoy a good romance orsci-fi movie, you'll enjoy this one. Highly entertaining. Worth a watch!

A space Titanic
This is basically Titanic set in space, albeit a much better film than Titanic will ever be.
Let's get it straight, this is not a full blown sci-fi epic. This is a romantic love story set in space, with some sci-fi elements thrown in. As long as you can accept that, then this is a really good film. Yes the romance part of the story is pretty predictable, but for me this didn't matter due to the sheer likeability and chemistry between Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. They did get a great job of holding a film virtually all on their own, although Michael Sheen was a delight in all of his scenes too. The special effects too were very impressive and this is definitely one of the better films I saw in the new year.

Sci-Fi romance starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence (with support from Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishbourne) as two travellers aboard an interstellar vessel, who awaken out of hibernation 30 years into a 90 year journey (I think those are both right) to their new home planet, with no means of getting back to sleep or of waking up any other passengers or crew.
What follows, then, mostly - of necessity - follows those two characters (and Sheen's android bartender), asking just what you would do in their circumstances? How would you live out your life?
Beautiful cinematography and some fancy effects, however, can not fully make up for (at times) as dull as dishwater and leaden pacing ...
