I felt a lot of vibes from sci-fi movies of the past. In this film I saw Avatar, Blade Runner, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I also saw a bit of Apocalypse Now.
Brad Pitt was the only one doing all the heavy work in the film. Everyone else just existed to move the plot along. Liv Tyler was the worst cast advertising since Meryl Streep was starring in the Mamma Mia! sequel.
Aside from that, I see it as an Oscar contender. The cinematography is fantastic. The sound design wasn't like anything I heard in space films. It may be the first space film I've seen that implements the lack of sound in space. I can't imagine another movie where pirates can sabotage an escort in complete silence except for the musical score playing underneath, which I can get behind in winning an Oscar.
I wish they didn't have the space pirates in the trailer because it made it sound like the pirates were part of the plot. Also despite being so believable in the science of space exploration, the movie completely rides on the myth that you explode in space.
If you really want to see this movie, I'd wait until it comes on TNT or something. It is just not worth it to rent or buy. And if How It Should Have Ended is listening, I want you to redo the ending in which the explosion, that blows up the ship, be the global killing surge that causes Brad to go into space in the first place. I was hoping for that in the last ten minutes of the movie.
