...and I was so let down....
I love outer space sci-fi movies, and when I saw the trailers for this I was overjoyed and could not wait for it to be released, and then started seeing reviews saying how it was not very good, to put it mildly. Still, I wanted to see it.
I initially did have a problem with the plot itself before I ever saw this film, because I thought it was kind of stupid; World War III breaks out while scientists from both countries at war are on board the ISS and are ordered to essentially kill each other to take control of the space station. If you think about it, it's dumb, regardless of the reason, which the scientists figure out, but is never spelled out by the opposing governments in their orders. Bad writing starts here, and keeps descending...
Nothing else that happens after this point makes much sense, and scenes that should have an emotional impact just sit there like they're waiting for someone to notice, and the ending is vague and unsatisfying.
I am still waiting to see a new outer space sci-fi movie.
