I went in blind not knowing what this movie is about and I didn't really took the film seriously, I just wanted something to watch while I eat my meal then drink coffee afterwards. What does that have to do with this review? Because that was what this movie is like..
The movie jumped right into it and the audience was forced to watch the platonic bond between the 2 stars, but I never really felt the chemistry between the two. They don't really look good together. I wasn't feeling it, it didn't convince me. Unlike the movie Passengers which is similar to this, Chris and Jennifer's chemistry was on fire from the get go.
Now as I mentioned before, The meal I was eating as I was watching wasn't that good like a 5/10, but I was forced to eat it because I was hungry and nothing worth it in the fridge. That is what this movie was like the first 40min to about 1hr into runtime. Then it just clicks. The last 30 mins made this to a 7/10. The coffee.
Warm and sweet. Taking slow sips because its hot and it burns. Ironically, this was the time when the pair were not together after being stuck inside a spaceship, lost in space for 3 years, I was actually missing them together and I didn't even really feel that vibe and chemistry when they were together! So what gives?
Structure and character development. Certain events in the last 30 mins was where it all came together that it pulls you in. One of the most realistic love stories I've seen and I'm not even that interested in this genre. All that being said, The OST is also captivating. The songs were nice too.
I'm gonna cut this short as I don't like reading long reviews. This is not a chick flick per se, it's more of a love story. A pretty good one.
