When two passengers who are on a 120-year space voyage are prematurely woken from their hibernation pods, they are forced to unstitch the furtive behind the blip and fight not just for their lives but also the lives of thousands of co-passengers who are still in a medically-induced hibernation state.

What’s Hot
- Chris Pratt‘s virile charisma and Jennifer Lawrence’s goofiness are the selling points of the movie. Pratt and Lawrence exhibit remarkable chemistry and they end up providing believable and memorable performances.
- The plot is simple and easy-to-understand when the sci-fi movies tend to gravitate towards adding scientific details and making the movie look increasingly complex. It’s plainly about a man and a woman bound by primal emotions of vulnerability and hope.
- Thomas Newman has done a splendid job with the score for the film. The soundtrack is astonishing and augurs well with the whole setup of the movie.
What’s Not
- Once the storyline is set in the first half an hour, the story, just like its characters, gets stuck and stalls haplessly. It wanders around for a while and looks to draw heavily on willful suspension of belief by the audience and ends up providing plenty of ‘yawn-worthy’ moments.
