Beautiful special effects, and great acting, but very overrated.

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2019)

The emotion really wasn't there, but everything else within it was intense. The directing by Alfonso Cuaron couldn't have been done any better. The visuals couldn't have been anymore gorgeous and realistic. All of that comes with a solid neutral script, lots of suspenseful atmosphere, and a strong message on not giving up when all seems lost. How could people call is overrated and boring. It was not a pitch perfect masterpiece, but it is something special.
