Good movie!

What a great movie. Watched it not knowing anything about it and I was hooked the entire time. I didn't want it to end. Mélanie Laurent's performance was stunning and hopefully award worthy. Ignore the reviews and watch it.

Far from pure, but don't let that contain you or hold you in, as this story of a woman reawakening in a cryogenic capsule with the breathable air rapidly depleting will have you pinned to your seat throughout, unable to escape, while conjuring a plethora of finales, endings and conclusions - any number of which quite plausible, however...

The movie manufactures ALL of its drama by withholding information. That's a cheap trick, and that's all this movie does. Once you know what's going on, information is STILL pointlessly withheld, solely to generate drama. I mean, literally EVERY SINGLE discovery or deduction makes you think, "wait, why didn't they just say that in the first place?" The entire plot of this movie could have been avoided with a simple infographic pasted to the inside of the hibernation chamber. This isn't science fiction. It's pointless information disparity. Go watch Moon instead.

Basically this is a one-woman, one-act play with occasional "discoveries" thrown in to keep audience attention when the heroine isn't shouting or screaming. Some of the timeline is awry, not only the inconsistent pacing of oxygen depletion but also the duration of her cryo state. Can't reveal more without spoilers.

Hugely frustrating to watch - a woman being counterproductively hysterical for ages, then making some underwhelming realisations. I had enough and stopped it two thirds through.

Imagine a whole movie of nonstop whining & crying, yup thats about it.

Overall a good sci fi . For the sci fi junkie that just has to see everything. A little reminescent of Ryan Reynolds "Burried" Interesting twists , effects are neat and believable... The only thing i dont get is apparently it takes 12 yeArs to pass the moon.... Really?
