@Parzival I have heard it described as a competent pastiche of the best parts of other, good movies.
@sun that makes sense. I did feel like there were things that could've been good in it, but yeah the humor was godawful, and it felt like there was too much of it, where I never felt much of any tension... And all the random plot holes and physics breaking was... disappointing. I kept thinking about how I would rather be watching Sunshine, or Pandorum, or Event Horizon. Not that it had to be "scary" or whatever, but I prefer my sci fi apocalypse stuff to contain more gravity. I never once felt like "Oh shit, is Gosling or Rocky gonna survive?" Which isn't ideal.
The effects were high quality, and I did like how the east German woman was very okay with sending people to their deaths. I think it'd have some emotional thrust at the end if when he goes to rescue rocky he's too late, and then he dies alone in space, or something. I dunno. If it wasn't gonna be a downer ending, I wished it at least would pretend to be before the final act. Sorry, I'm rambling haha.
