(66,978 posts)It's really quite good, altho if it weren't for Clooney I wouldn't bother, because space stuff just doesn't interest me that much. Also, Sandra Bullock is not my favorite actress.
Clooney is terrific, as usual, but he only has one scene where he isn't wearing a space helmet. But it doesn't matter because he is just so damn charming and fun in it and his voice carries a lot of his charm. I won't give away any details of the story in case you'll be seeing it.
The movie I really want to see later this year is "Monuments Men," which he directed and stars in. It's a true story of the art scholars, curators, museum directors who were inducted into the army during WW2 and planned the saving of Europe's art from both the Germans and from the war's destruction. I've read several books that chronicle this story and it's just wonderful. So you get great art and George Clooney (Matt Damon, too, who I adore) and a helluva story. It'll be in theaters in December and I can't wait!
