Absolutely Fantastic
The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Sure, there is a few elements of Soap Opera (Space Opera) to it, with some typical Hollywood Love Drama and the hero that suddenly shows up, with vital information helping the two passengers to find the right track, but! It is masterful within its own parameters. It's not trying to be something it is not.I am a sucker for these types of movies. Interstellar travel on space ships. The set design and cinematography is beyond amazing. The imagery is wonderous. It's fascinating to look at and it has a moral question that resonates. I really wish more movies like this would come out. It's a slightly more relaxed version of Interstellar (without the horrendous ending that Interstellar had) and The Martian. Keep making movies like these!
He is able to look up profiles on everyone on the ship, but doesn't decide to look for a pod mechanic that could of put them both back to sleep...
Even at two hours I felt it was just a little too rushed. I understand the caution with making it run too long but it felt like an extra half hour would have gone a long way to show the significant length of time the characters spent in such solitude. They did a good job of it but a few extra minutes could have been well spent to create the feeling of loneliness first of just Jim and then both Jim and Aurora. I did feel the chemistry between Chris Pratt as Jim and Jennifer Lawrence as Aurora was extremely convincing. Both actors put forth very convincing and enjoyable performances, not to mention an excellent however brief appearance by Laurence Fishburne. The tension was well played throughout the film both between the characters and with external events. However some of the emotion seemed to be cut short where I felt it needed to linger just a little longer in several scenes and series of scenes particularly later in the film. They also needed to spend just a little more time with the two of them at the end. It felt like they just ran out of time filming and had to end it right away. Overall a very enjoyable film that could even be extended further. This could possibly make for a good directors cut in the future.
Great movie! I can say just that . Begin is lonely but then comes everything fine . Very good
