It's never a good sign when a realistic-feeling sci-fi set in the solar system has Mars, Jupiter, Saturn etc. all lined up in a neat row as the hero in his spaceship heads outward.
Bland character, bland daddy-issue plot element, irksome science stuff (messages from Mars to Neptune take longer than a couple minutes to send and receive), and several grander themes that never really take shape.
It looks good though. Score was pretty tense.
Was torn here, did enjoy parts, though a lot of it did seem pointless by the end. Not sure I'll watch this again, even though a second viewing could sort some shit out.
eg ***spoiler ahead*** Pitt's dad was hanging around trying to fix the ship as it was causing damage to the Earth right, then he commits suicide when they're about to fix the problem via self destruct mode. Why not just blow yourself,the ship and the problem up long ago old man.
I also watched this late night and was very tired, so I found my mind wandering too many a time.

Didn't his dad actually find or discover life elsewhere and wanted to share it with his son, who he somehow knew would come? I very well could be way, way off though.
I watched this and enjoyed most of it.
I'll admit that I was tired as f#ck and started falling asleep during the end, so I'll have to go back and watch it again more closely, BUT...
Spoiler:Are you kidding me?! That was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a movie... possibly largely because it was so unexpected! 😂
Rabid space monkey!
I also really liked the
Spoiler:Some nice sequences in this bad boy, but like I said, I'm going to have to watch the ending a little more closely...
moon pirate chase sequence!
I'm a little surprised it got decent reviews with all the voice over they used. I always heard that was a no-no in filmmaking. Some of it even bothered me a little.
