Why did they bother going to these tremendous lengths to make everything scientific and realistic then cast Sandra Bollox and George (single expression) Clooney as astronauts?

Because they are both box office draws and Oscar winners? That's just my guess.
 

Theres been way too much of that happening lately. Elyisium got great reviews from Duncan Jones and some other guys and that turned out to be way too mediocre for Neil.

Clooney can act when properly motivated. Descendants, O Brother, Burn After Reading... It's Sandra Bullock who bothers me. Everything I've ever seen her in she's playing that same overly nervous character from Speed and it doesn't look any differant here.

:exactly:

She takes me out of every film she's in. She has no range or depth.

Actually Duncan only retweeted and responded to one of the UK critic's tweets about Elysium. I had shared them in the Elysium thread. Duncan himself hasn't posted his thoughts on the the movie yet.

But I get what you are saying, just cause Cameron says it's great doesn't mean it will be actually great.


Anyways, some of the reasons and excuses people have given online not to watch this film seems genuine, sad and at times hilarious to me.

Many will avoid this film and then will continue to complain about the lack of original films in Hollywood. Again, this concept isn't original, but it's an original sci-fi film not based on existing properties.

I loved Children of Men and I will give Alfonso Cuaron a chance any day.

That's one of the reasons I actually want to see it. I like the concept of it.

Cuaron is a great director... Children of Men is one of my favorite movies of the past few years.
