I read the reviews, and agree with the negative ones in many respects. Great visuals and score, and Brad was good. Other actors were mainly superfluous, but I guess a necessary vehicle for the protagonist to keep moving forward. Didn't stop most of them from being just plain annoying though, save for the Mars Director. Yeah so aside from the obvious physics flaws, and without getting bogged down with the hundreds of erroneous technical impossibilities- things like rescuers approaching a vessel that has just entered Earths atmosphere- this thing would need hours upon hours to cool enough to approach. addressing this would take but a few seconds, and add at least a little believability to what we're watching instead of being de-immersed from the movie almost constantly by the many, many frustrating smack-you-in-the-face errors of physics. Do I need a movie to be technically perfect to enjoy it? No, but I wonder if any research on what would actually happen beyond our atmosphere was done prior to the cameras rolling. Kind of makes me feel short changed. But the one burning question I have once the end credits started rolling is: Being that the mission for the crew from Mars to Neptune was to destroy the Lemur project, why did the Protagonist need to go to all the effort to sneak on board just to achieve the same goal? Why not just let them do what they were going to do anyway? Regardless I'm giving a neutral 3 star rating because the visuals and sound mixing are phenomenal and perfectly executed for a home theater environment. Clearly effort was put forth here. If the producers of this movie couldn't hit a bullseye with the narrative, with the stunning screenplay they certainly gave the vast incredible universe around us its due. Is it worth a watch? If you love sci fi then sure. It definitely didn't make me want the 2 hours of my life back art the end. Don't expect too much, and you'll probably enjoy it.
