there are multiple things overrated in this film
the script - there isn't 'a story' to this film, getting to bare bones of it, it's an IMAX advert stretched out for 91 minutes
the main character - not only is she laughably over her head in space, I'd want to see where that qualification came from and look if it also came with a plastic decoder ring -responsible for atleast 3 deaths, maybe 5 and possibly 6 if her kid committed suicide to escape the mind-numbing life of having her narrate EVERYTHING she did
the trailer - this was sold as an astronaut drifting out into space, not only is she not an astronaut, she's not drifting through space or alone with her thoughts or facing certain death similar to The Martian, no she's rescued then proceeded to do an audio description of the film
two type of people like this film:
1) people who feel they should like it because they've been told they should
&
2) people who don't want to admit they've wasted 91 minutes of their life on a film with an unhappy ending

This shows that you have no ability to understand movies beyond your need to see low IQ shoot em up movies.

You didn't watch the trailer and failed to read the description about the movie. It clearly says she is a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission. She is NOT an astronaut beyond being a crew member. The trailer clearly shows her go into panic and start using up her air from the tank. The movie is essentially a mental illness drama played out in space, but that is obviously above your mental capabilities since it doesn't show space battles or aliens.

haha nice cast Jeff but fish are not biting
If you'll stop the childishness I'm happy to discuss this, though it does mean you having to accept that an educated person who does like a wide variety of films found this to be utterly terrible
If you can do that please feel free to reply
If not, have a nice life :)

Hilarious. You create a garbage post with a comment like "there isn't 'a story' to this film" and then say (2.5 months later) that your comment was an "educated" discussion. Meanwhile you give "Dark Knight" a rating of "9" for footage that repeats a story that has been done over and over multiple times.
You have a "nice life too" if that is what you call it. I'll spend my time commenting in forums that contain movies I enjoy while you continue to troll IMDb and pretend you are some kind of hipster intellectual picking out all the flaws in the movies.

I enjoyed this film, not because of it's story but more for it's visuals and the soundtrack. Seeing it in theaters during the final scene where she comes crashing back to earth, truly gave me chills. The soundtrack fitted the visuals so much that it was enough to dazzle me. Sure the story was *beep* but I never found myself bored or fed up with it's plot holes. Is this movie a masterpiece? No. Is this movie garbage? No. It was a decent movie that I thought was enjoyable. I understand that people think this movie is overrated but that's no reason to trash on a 'meh' movie when there is plenty of actually bad movies out there. Movies that were lazy and only made for cash ins. *Cough Death Race 2 Cough* I was never told to enjoy this movie and I was unsatisfied with the ending. Like i said, i got chills in the final stretch and thought it was the best part of the movie. I under stand that opinions are subjective but effort was put into it and it's clear that this was a passion project. I'm willing to listen to any feedback though.
Thank you.

I liked the film because it got me immersed into it, feeling like I was there in space experiencing the terrible stuff going on there and thus I could easily connect with Sandra Bullock her character.
To me watching this film on the big screen in 3D was a fantastic experience. So I am not in either of your categories of people who liked this film. Case dismissed.
