Probably the best acting Pitt has done. He has really matured and handled his emotions well. This is set in the "near future" and involves a mission to discover the source of Earth damaging EMPs. Oh, it also happens that Pitt's dad, Tommy Lee, was on a Deep Space mission that never came back.
The story gives us a more emotionless world with Pitt being a prime example. It also shows the Moon and Mars as commercial truck-stops for outbound missions. Yes, the CGI was great but not overpowering. The direction made this more of a "personal" movie rather than a spectacle.
The story and action parallel a famous movie from the '70s. You'll get it in no time.
