I enjoyed watching this movie despite its slowness (but 2001 space odyssey was slow , wasn't it?). I liked it better than Gravity.
Clooney is definitely a moral director : delivering messages about earth sustainability, life (living its real life rather than always working and not prioritizing hopes), but this movie is not black and white. The finale may be predictable but not entirely.
The arctic adventures and the space ones are both adventures in an hard and lonely environment, forgotten by the world , but are the only two remaining and living areas. Clooney is alone while the astronauts are together and form a good team, almost a family.
I wonder wether the young girl with Clooney is real or not (I guess not, actually , in a "6th sense" fashion). Loneliness may create hallucinations.
And the casting is really good. All serve the plot but very humanely. Who was also one of the messages I got from this movie.
