Im surprised this hasn't got a higher rating. It was thrilling, I was on the edge of my seat. Shot entirely in the cockpit of a plane this makes it really interesting. Very authentic I felt. The first part of the movie is the pilots just getting the plane ready, the crew setting up, air traffic control chatting as you would imagine it to be on a real plane. No Hollywood glam which was nice for a change. There's no music throughout which made it even better as you heard all the sounds of the passengers terror and his loneliness trapped in the cockpit helpless. It was tragic throughout and gripping. Joseph gordon Levitt acted this role brilliantly and it was his acting that really drew me into the story of his plight and distress especially as his sons mother was killed on the other side of the door and also the dilemmas he faced along the way gave it a human touch. All together a great film and well worth a watch.

This is one of those films that you watch and you can't get out of your head after. You keep wondering "what happened next?" Throughout the whole film there's just the right amount of intensity to keep you intrigued as to the question "will humanity survive or not?" I think it was acted beautifully by all the cast and I like that it was a bit mysterious in the sense you never quite find out what happened on earth and there's a couple of twists at the end that I didn't see coming but which added a deep sense of grief and also elation at the same time. I wanted to see more but also it ended perfectly. I love films like this that you ponder after, that really make you think. If you are wanting a fast paced, action space story this isn't for you but if your looking for something deeper that makes you question life, the universe and humanity then this could be your sort of film.
