I thought it was pretty fantastic in every aspect. (Off-Topic)

Story. Acting. Cinematography. Special effects. Sound. Editing. Music. Ideas. Emotions. Excitement...

But especially the effects. You just don't see realistic space visuals presented with care, subtlety, and creativity very often and I treasure them (the other comparables that come to my mind are my favorite movie of all time, 2001: A Space Odyssey and the 20-minute creation-of-the-universe segment in Terrence Malick's Tree of Life).

Although there were a lot of great sequences, the little five-second shot of Saturn to the sound of thunder and rain might have smacked my imagination the most and it made me truly happy that art exists.
