A Ridley Scott film that has humor and heart. Who'd a thunk it.
Not much plot. A dire emergency puts all characters into a 'situation'. Then the rest of the film is about fixing the 'situation'. Reminds me of Gravity in that regard. At least it is when you reduce it down to the bare and simple.
Enjoyable. Humor. Our protagonists were up to the challenge. Upbeat. No wallowing about in angst and depression like in Interstellar.
An observation: in the last few sci-fi films we've seen space going adventures that base their environments and fundamentals on known science. Example, much as been learned about Mars in the past 20 years due to the info sent back by robots/drones we've put out there on Mars. I guess new data reduces the amount and type of speculation that can be made. We know too much. Not a lot of room to fantasize.
