I'm still a little unsure about this one. It contained all the stereotypical sci-fi elements that have been beaten to death in every sci-fi film over the past couple of decades, but the film did it with style. Character-wise it was pretty weak effort I thought. It tried to quickly brush on aspects of the characters, but it was never really fleshed out. Could have maybe used less characters which would've given them the chance to flesh it out more. It also suffered from trying to get a little bit too "2001"-esque towards the end of the film.

All-in-all it was an enjoyable and pretty exciting movie at times, but it was let down by a lack of originality and unremarkable characters. It's basically two parts Solaris (the newer one with Clooney), one part Event Horizon, one part 2001.

Loved the soundtrack though.
