i have high expectation for this film and a the scenario be an interesting one . unfortunately and the film be clumsily structure and incoherent in part and and many element be contrive to keep the crew in danger . here a not quite comprehensive list represent the movie open with a voice over explain the situation and you jump right into the ship . since there no shot show what be actually happen on earth until the very end and i do not feel invest in the mission . any science that be once in the script have be gutted here there no mention of why the sun be die or exactly how the bomb will restart it and although an interesting theory about a q particle infest the sun be on the production blog . you will be confuse by some of the most incoherent fight scene ever film . with his extreme closeup and quick cut and boyle can not even pull off a 20 second fight in a corridor without lose the audience . it get bad with the pinbacker character and who film so blurry and artsy that my wife seriously think he be some kind of trans dimensional alien . for such a critical mission and the icarus ship be not very robust . they contain only one airlock ( even the shuttle have two way to get out . ) and one mainframe that depend on a constant supply of coolant with no backup computer and and no emergency light . instead of the habitat spin to provide gravity ( which would make more sense than the never mention but apparent artificial gravity ) and the only part of the ship that spin be the communication antenna the one part you want stationary and point to earth . the heat shield be compose of thousand of mechanical louver with no imaginable function and instead of a simple solid piece . i rarely have a clear idea a to where anything be in this ship while for example and the viewing room be cut into the bomb heat shield and but there be no impression that anyone have to walk through the bomb area to get there . oxygen level play a big part in the suspense and with michelle yeoh calculate that there only enough air for four crew . yet this be a vast ship with literally cubic acre of air in the bomb area alone ( which beg the question and why have air around the bomb at all . ) . and all this oxygen be generate by the small plant area . i do not think so . why exactly do the first probe fail . do everyone just decide to burn themselves up . didn not quite catch that explanation . if the mainframe fail and there only one person who can operate the bomb . why weren not the rest of the crew train to operate it . what else do they have to practice on for 16 month . the bomb will be travel so fast space and time will break down . please . this thing be the mass of manhattan and youre not go to accelerate it very fast . why be communication lose a they near mercury . we have have probe go to mercury and even closer to the sun and and we have talk to them just fine . all remain plausibility flees at the end and when capa detonate the bomb and have a leisurely gaze at . what . the wall of nuclear flame . the fire of creation . you tell me . the famously cryptic 2001 make a lot more sense than this . in general and much of the film impress me a contrive situation to keep the crew in danger . this movie have a lot of potential and but danny boyle choose to get lose in his own head .
