blindingly bright (2 of 3 super quick reviews)

likes/positives: heavy philosophical and psychological overtones. questionable morals. cillian murphy - mmmm. chris evans - plays a great asshole. cliff curtis - excellent! mark strong - plays a great deliusional fuck-up (understatement). actually making characters realistic and human and putting them in situation that they would actually experience (regardless of the fact that they are in space). not sugar coating anything bad that happens. when it's bad in space... it's really bad (and by bad i really mean neck deep in the messiest, foulest shit ever) and of course... the suspence. i'm a sucker for it. waaaaaay better take on philosophical space mystery than 2001: aso.

dislikes/negatives: slasher-esque-ish (almost) ending. not as much character development as i would have liked, although there is enough.
overall grade: a
