Magnificent special effects!

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2014)

Films with a top cast are often over-hyped, but I think that after everything I read and heard as reviews, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the plot. However, there's a lot to be said with a simple, straight forward situation. Things also went forward at a perfect pace. This director knows how to utilize time to the greatest effect, never allowing meaningless space or motion.
The special effects were the alpha and the omega, for me, definitely the star of the film. Fantastic and superior, to the point that you felt you needed to "duck" as lethal objects split and hurled toward you. The deadly situation of trying to save yourself and move, without GRAVITY, was terrifyingly real.
