   I finally rented this from Amazon and saw it last night.   
      
   It is a well-done film and would be worth four stars except for one   
   small problem: it is as dull as dishwater. Three stars, then.   
      
   This may not be apparent unless you view it, as I did, as being in the   
   same "realistic space movie" category as /Apollo 13/. Comparing the   
   two shows the difference between a really good movie and one that is   
   well-done but ... dispensible.   
      
   IMHO, of course.
