   I saw it last night, having this in mind.  After the hundreds of years of   
   future history (in this universe we appear to have built Space Station Alpha   
   rather than the ISS, and somehow kept at least part of the Apollo Soyuz Test   
   Project in orbit), there's    
   a long segment on an alien planet with only minimal subtitling of their   
   language; maybe if the main movie had been in French.

   I may be old fashioned, but if spending more than $150 million, I would not be   
   aiming to make a piece of moving wallpaper.
