I really got bored , will all space movies these days gonna be this boring ?
its just my opinion and warning for people who dont like such slow movies . the end was surely so predictable and the characters were so not interesting and i thought the space was shown like so unconvincing . huh all in all disappointing for me .

I love a lot of space sci-fi. This movie was dull, quite boring. It stole a lot of idea's from other sci-fi films. I actually hated this film.
sharevery slow movie, kinda apollo 18, sad.
shareyeah it missed the mark reeaaalllyy badly. Check out films like moon, sunshine, apollo 18 maybe, mission to mars, those are good. I was watching this film and just thinking to myself "why didn't they just make this a fake documentary of what a mission to europa might be like?" Or is that what this is? WTF is this?
"the day I tried to live, I learned that I was alive"
Well, that's what realistic space exploration like (using today's technology anyway), they're trying to give a sense of realism here, which they achieved quite successfully. But unfortunately it also makes for a very slow movie, which is probably why we're losing public support for human space flight, since it's slow, boring and deadly.

I wasn't bored at all. Thought it was a pretty good sci-fi space horror film.
shareYeah, these people need to take their Ritalin.
shareSo you thought it was interesting, all the chit-chat about space food, their kids, the size of their bunks, sprinkled with lots of technical talk, corrupted video, throwing us a few dead bodies before the final image of a giant squid, which lasted literally 1 second? They did not even seem like real astronauts, and their dialog reminded me of college kids camping out, not serious scientists.
And why is everyone violating orders? The video build-up about how amazing this trip was, how glorious, wonderful and all the gushing from the astronauts was sappy. The characters were not likeable, with the exception of Andrei. I don't need Ritalin to recognize a snoozer! To each his own...
That is the question most people already ask.
shareYou're joking surely? There was nothing real looking about this movie, other than the rocket footage they ripped off.
shareI have to agree with OP on this one. The movie is boring as hell and there is absolutely nothing new here. It's like the creators of this movie have never saw a sci-fi movie before. The reality style, cameras filming the lives of the crew, really? Was this really hard to come up with? Exaggerated drama with no substance about something really stupid. Right, they travel to another planet and find some monster that kills them. Like we've never seen that before. And if you are already recycling same story all over again like you are the first one to come up with such idea, at least make it interesting, make it in the way we've never seen before. But it's all so boringly familiar, so tedious to watch. Small budget, theatrical design, view through the camera, it all makes the movie so bad, so staged. And the story itself really not interesting, there is nothing compelling, nothing gripping, nothing exciting, it is not scary at all. If you've been watching movies in the past 10 years, this movie is a step back in sci-fi genre. It's like a bad movie from 80's. It is not like Moon at all, not even Mission to Mars or Red Planet. It is much, much worse.
share@dimagic - exactly what i wanted to say . i dont have any problem when the movie is moving slow , but it should be something worth , we have seen these things like 100 times or more and the worst was the predictable ending , i knew from the start some alien *beep* gonna happen but was so hopping to get surprised thats why i actually finished the movie :( .
though i dint needed to use spoiler markup lol .
For me, this movie was damned underwhelming. Pacing issues aside, Not a single character was believable, nor did I give a damn about what happened to them. When the sh*t hits the fan, and the characters fail to act in a logical, common sense sort of way, My faith in their training/preparation/knowledge drops significantly. I do not consider myself to be an expert in any way shape or form on most things relating to space, and the required "mental toughness" of astronauts, But I refuse to believe these idiots "made the cut" to be the "first crew" to be first in going farthest and witnessing alien life first hand. When the film was over, I just felt like crap. That's it? That's what the trailer promised? a scatter shot mockumentary following incompetent astronauts on their way to the "ultimate discovery?"
I was not expecting a horror movie, I suppose being so far from Earth, and ultimately confined to a small space can be terrifying enough. I knew things would go wrong...But how could the prospect of a sci-fi "adventure (for lack of a better word) be so damned uninteresting? Where were the souls of the humans? I understand that Petra (or whatever the hell her name was) illicit ed a "Steven Spielberg look-of-awe-and-wonder" as to showcase her great fascination with the act of discovery itself...But that's not enough.
You know you've seen a mediocre film when I simply cannot get out just how annoyed I am after seeing it. I do not think I'm adequately elaborating on how tedious and contrived this film turned out to be. I didn't even know there was a "sacrifice" scene taking place, until the damned fool started tearing up. I was thinking "okay...Now USE your JET PACK to get back to the ship!" and stop whining. I also thought that when people started dying, the crew was seemingly un-phased by it all. Yet again, going back to the lack of a human element that was so profoundly absent from the film.
This wasn't a terrible film, but it just barely makes for an enjoyable experience. There are moments of tension, and the effects were pretty damned good as well...But the acting, in particular, and the hilarious "high tech" interfaces overlayed on the video displays with red lines and squares and other geometric shapes shown to make everything look "futuristic" among many other issues, just killed it for me.
Yeah, a real snoozer!
shareI thought it was just going to be a dry realistic science based thing just based on technical difficulties, it was actually a lot better than that. It delivered.
Comparisons with Apollo 13 are misleading.
Yes this film stunk. I like slow, I hate boring. People on here don't seem to know the difference. Moon was slow, but amazing. This was slow and dumb. I think sci-fi characters are the new 80's horror film characters. So dumb some of the choices and reactions they make. Then at the end of the films we see a one second shot of one of the machine things from The Matrix.
"It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence."
Exactly. 2001:A Space Odyssey was slow, but Kubrik is not boring. This was slow and boring. It's as if they think we'll all be impressed by how they set up the ship, the space shots, getting some technical details right, repeating how incredible it is to travel farther than man has ever traveled, introducing an international crew--give them an "A" for effort, but "F" for entertainment!
