What I Liked: The special effects in this movie make it worth watching. What I was amazed about the most was when debris was flying around in space, coming quite close to Dr. Stone, and how realistic is looks. Although it is science fiction, it is very much believable. I would be interested in knowing more about how they filmed the movie.

What I Didn’t Like: The movie starts off while they are in space, with Dr. Stone working on a circuit board in space, and I would have liked it if the first 5 or 10 minutes of the movie was on land, explaining what they were about to do in regards to their mission. Since mostly all of the movie is in space, with only 2 characters, I did feel as though something was missing, and things could have been explained a little further.

My favorite scene in the movie:

I have 2 favorite scenes in the movie, 1 is for the special effects and the other is for the story.

Best scene #1: For special effects, there is a scene where Dr. Stone is trying her best to make her way into the spacecraft but there’s debris flying all around her, and the special effects are extremely realistic, and there are some really close calls. It is a sit at the edge of your seat scene.

Best scene #2: The second scene I liked in regards to the storyline, is when Dr. Stone is inside the spacecraft, very low on fuel, and out of ideas to get back to earth, and then she hears a knock at the window, outside the spacecraft, and it is Lieutenant Matt Kowalski, with a last chance idea on how to get back to earth. In the movie, at first, you really don't know if it is real or a dream.

My least favorite scene in the movie:

My least favorite scene, which is also quite nerve-racking, is after the mid-space destruction, when Dr. Ryan Stone’s safety strap is torn and breaks loose, and she is helplessly floating in space, in dead silence. You can feel how helpless she is, and the feeling of isolation and loneliness.
