Visually impressive but very slow

Rating: 5/10 (23 October 2013)

I can honestly say I've probably seen Cast Away with Tom Hanks over 5 times and loved each occasion. So I can definitely appreciate a slow film. Gravity will take you to the brink of slowness and leave you not enjoying it in the end. Sandra does an OK job and Clooney is an absentee pretty much but his parts were good. Gravity' focal point lies with a woman's struggle healing with the death of her daughter. The problem falls in the fact that her character development isn't there, you'll find yourself not really caring if she makes it or not. Possibly caused by the shortness of the film, but none the less no emotion is created from her character. Like what you feel in Slumdog Millionaire, emotional ties to every character. I'm just shocked to see how highly rated this film is on IMDb, considering I respect the ratings immensely. Sub par in my opinion
