Refined, Euphoric,.....Excellent
Probably one of the best space scifi's ever made. Combines the best of today's high-tech cinematography with the experiance of past space-delemma efforts. Some will sy it's too close to Event Horizon, Contact, Mission to Mars, Red Planet, etc, but this movie gets it right. It takes from all those and combines them in a more surreal experiance. Even though the plot is a tad cliche' with the Event-Horizon like insane-space-sabatuer sobataging the mission, it's still a very enveloping story. What make sit stand out is its great variation of characters and, of course, the whole sunshine/light/warmth vs cold/dark space duet through the entire film. You've got your iconic heat shield and space suits that will give this movie some immortality, and don't forget the hot asain chic, which every good movie should always have. Only really needed improvment would have been to remove all the god referencing. Religion in general tends to just ruin everything anyway.

trying to copy 2001 a space odessey does not work
it was sometimes difficult to follow. it was a conglomeration of other space odyssey films, but was not a good. to many artsy critics, they will love the look and feel of the film. don't pay full price, use a bargain matinée.

too beautiful & intense to pass up
try not to blink because you won't want to miss a second of the gorgeous cinematography and special effects. danny boyle didn't skimp on good actors either - the relationships and connections between the characters are well developed and the tension is off the charts. the soundtrack for this sci-fi/horror movie is also amazing and fits the action & emotions perfectly. see it on the big screen NOW!
