Looks like a mix of the Martian meets Wayward Pines.

I'll watch it when it gets to video.

I have to REALLY love a movie to see it in the theater. Or it has to be a movie for my kids.

I heard a synopsis on a podcast a while back for this movie that gave away entirely too much of the plot.

Could you point me the way to the podcast? As a broke college student I can't afford to go to every movie so I want to know if it would really be worth my time.

I've heard Oscar buzz about this movie, and the trailer looks pretty darn good. Definitely planning on seeing this when it comes out.

I really liked the film. Chris Pratt had to make a tough decision, one I would have made as well had I been in that situation.

It had so much more potential. Someone with some creativity needed to get a hold of the script and rewrite it.

The first hour was slow and the last half hour was just ridiculously horribly written IMO. So much more potential than what became of it.

It was okay. Chris Pratt was pretty good to very good in his part. What stuck with me a little is how different it was then some of the reviews dissing his character and the movie as somehow glossing over or okaying what he did. The consequences of his act was kinda the whole movie, wasn't glossed over at all. I am guessing since it had a "happy" ending and he wasn't punished enough didn't set right with people wanting to make a point rather than acknowledging it's a movie for our entertainment?
