Yeah, what I put in the spoiler tag is all he said about the spoiler.

[Qalbert]

the spoiler isn't true at all, lmao

[Tyrath]

Yeah, uh, that isn't how it goes. Spoiler for if you actually want to know.

Spoiler: show

After his character dies he comes back as a hallucination for 1 scene.

So I'm assuming Maher's comment was supposed to be a joke.

I just got back from seeing it in Real3D (Imax too expensive and far away). This is the first movie I've seen in 3D and I only watched it this way on a recommendation from a reviewer who said the only way you can watch this film is in 3D. Well, I think I'm more inclined to 3D now. The effects were stunning. Regarding the story

Spoiler: show

I thought Sandra's character was going to die at the end, there was so many options. Death by the cold, death by fire, death by drowning, death by debris falling. The only thing I didn't like was the music. It was way too loud in places and telegraphed too much what was going to happen.

Finally got around to seeing this, visually yea its fantastic and the soundtrack during was ok. Story, holy shit bad. Sandra Bullock is terrible.

Spoiler: show

Ok maybe part of it is her char being written as an idiot who never should have been put in space to begin with. Her panic at any issue is dumb. She's a trained astronaut, that has to be one of the first things that's over come in training is getting over panic issues when in space and something goes wrong. It made her char seem weak and dumb. Also when she gets back into the escape pod from ISS after clearing the parachute her helmet is off and the door is still open, that annoyed me. The physics were bad, if you're going to do it, do it right? Needed more Clooney. Feel free to bash me, but other than the visuals this was very disappointing.

I feel the reason Bullock's character was seemingly weak was to portray the dichotomy between her and Clooney's character. He being a veteran astronaut on his last trip and her being a fledgling first-timer in an ultra-rare and exceptionally stressful situation(s). Clooney was the light in the darkness, and when he was gone she had to go it alone, eventually overcoming her own weakness and fulfilling a pretty obvious archetype.

I wouldn't call her dumb, she freakin' got a Chinese escape pod up and running, lol. And training can prepare you but it doesn't mean you will behave the same in such a real scenario. I believe many army veterans can tell you the same.

The movie would have been very dull if both astronauts behaved like level-headed veterans going through the throes of space disaster. If anything the acting direction was supposed to play off the viewer's own emotions of utter helplessness. For some people maybe they don't get that feeling, and, like you, did not enjoy the way it headed.

Spoiler tags are like a secret conversation!

I don't disagree with any of what you said, maybe I've just listened to or watched to many things with astronauts that makes me think they should/would be better than her char. Like disobeying an order etc. I think they could have made the story just as appealing/exciting with her not freaking out most of the time and having a vision quest mid movie. Also it may be that I hate Sandra Bullock haha.
