Very mediocre movie

Rating: 4/10 (13 October 2013)

Having read rave reviews from both critics and general public I was surprised how mediocre this movie was. The plot is very thin. The action sequences are repeated throughout the length of the movie. They seem to be impressive the first time but after a few repetitions they bore rather then thrill. Scientific details make you doubt that screenplay writers learned basic physics. For example, the "speeding bullet" fast moving debris hitting the ISS. Or miraculous survival of Dr. Ryan Stone inside the burning capsule. The acting is quite good but there is not much to act for Sandra Bullock. You can't relate to this story on any level and this is why it leaves you cold. CGI's are terrific but they can't save the movie. Overall, it was a disappointment after great expectations. Four out ten.
