All films ask to one degree or another for a suspension of our disbelief. Some accomplish this task more effectively than others. Although i feel that Eva Green's performance was noteworthy, I found myself unable to believe her emotional deterioration, and the obvious risk to her crew to which she exposed them by her injudicious, and frankly, non-credible actions. Astronauts train for years for the opportunity to participate in a mission to outer space, and they are screened extensively for both physical and mental fitness to serve prior to ever being qualified and vetted to begin that training. It is not that I cannot empathize with a parent's (I am a father), and especially a mother's love for her child. But I am unable to believe that a space-bound mission specialist would behave in such a manner as to jeopardize or compromise the lives of her fellow crew members. If this motion picture intends to present us with at least a semi-realistic portrayal of what it means to be committed to being an astronaut, it must not pander to a lamentable and, in some significant segments of human society, a generally held belief that women are somehow unfit to serve in that capacity. I, for one, would have preferred that one of the male characters had been portrayed in such a negative light, and that the producers of this film refused to bend to the pressure of unpleasant and non-productive female stereotypes. In my view, they have done nothing to advance the standing and long-delayed parity deserved by every woman throughout the only world that is truly worth saving and exploring.
