I really thought this was a weak film. First of all, I'm not sure of the science or the futurism. Is this really the way things could be? There are so few controls. The people in authority are weak and scared. Brad Pitt's character, Roy, is about as dull as one can make him. Yes, he has been given a difficult job, but then it is pulled out of the program. The way he gets on board the final rocket is beyond possible. Even in the future. We would hope that people with the kind of money it takes to do a film like this could have channeled it into a real script. I could list 25 questions about the absurdity right off the top of my head.
