This video makes the movie look much more interesting than any of the trailers did. You should re-release this sequence as a trailer!

Absolutely fell in the love with the movie . It had lotta honest emotions..no matter you travel the universe you can’t find love there ,its there right next to u .
Beautiful movie .
I loved that you dint take the aliens route ..I was kinda sick of tht concept . Brad Pitt has never been THIS awesome . The satellite falling scene was epic . There were so many thrilling elements throughout the movie . Just loved it .

I guess a lot of people didn’t like it because they expected something different… The photography is ridiculous
