My parting shot as I was leaving the movie was, "No wonder Clooney was in a hurry to leave this movie." (Wouldn't have put that in but Kitty already more or less gave it away.)
Dee, I noticed going out that Bullock has top billing over Clooney and rightly so. I went to see the usual charm from the two of them and looked forward to seeing a great film built around that. Nobody could have done their parts better, there just wasn't much to work with. If I had had in mind to see a 3D technically brilliant riot in space, I wouldn't have been disappointed. I missed Bullock's girl-next-door humor most of all, and secondly watching Clooney in an impossibly phony role was sad.
