I plan on checking it out. I had hoped for unanimous reviews, but that''s life. I am sure the crew of the film had somewhat the same hopes. Critics, well the last time I listened to them , i wound on watching "hustlers" Dang it.

Tympani roll please, while I unspool my reasons to look forward to the show.

!. Big budget, big effects space movie, with a trailer that suggests seeing it on a large screen, is usually enough motivation for me, and is so here.

2. Brad Pitt is a big star, so can select among the best roles in the industry. I don't follow actors, but he is a good one, and I haven't ever seen him in a bad movie, but did skip his sword and sandal trojan war one. Critics helped me greatly on that decision. It is almost like a moth to a flame with me and big screen super colossal stupendous cinematic extravaganzas.

Once I consider the trojan movie, because, I would have gone. Perhaps I was a little hard on critics with that "hustlers" crack, even if it was true.

Yeah , I went. meh
No complaints, but after paying the tariff to get an Imax seat at the mall, I almost felt justified to crash " Brittany runs a marathon"as the second feature, which I liked better.
Space movie was kind of phony, but in reading that was part of a plan to keep it from being a too perfect, a 2001 type movie.
For my other disappointments, I will point to one, a car chase on the moon, with pirates in pursuit. After seeing Mad Max, they should have cut that scene to save face. About as suspenseful as an old singing cowboy dust up, although they almost pulled it out with the spin out that emphasized the low gravity. That had some "will they make it" excitement.
Other than unrealized high hopes, i have no complaints. However, someone should tell Tommy lee Jones to get some better sleep, he is starting to get bags under his eyes.
