In my opinion, it's a movie with a split personality. The movie overall is unfortunately not as good as I hoped. It has a split personality - for every hard science element, there's a completely fake one as well, and sometimes the plot and the characters abandon all logic too. It's even more annoying because in every case it would have been easy to come up with a logical and scientifically correct solution, especially because other movies and novels have already done it all. Black holes, time dilatation, and so on...
It's also not as spectacular as we were told. It borrows heavily from Gravity and Prometheus, but it fails to live up to how well those scenes were done, both in the realistic space travel and the more monumental pieces.
The music is really good, but it has only one note and once you've heard it it's all the same onwards.
But it is reasonably effective overall, I can see it faring well in the box office. The emotional elements are fine IMHO, work well, it's just disappointing that they've failed to support it with a coherent script.
