More plot please

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2014)

Everyone seems to love the movie, "Gravity," or maybe "they" the "movie critics" are just afraid to criticize it. I simply do not get it. The special effects were fantastic! Yes, I agree, but...the plot was so simple I was bored. Nothing really happened. I can get more "plot" out of an old "B" movie like "It Came from Outer Space." I kept waiting, and waiting for a subplot...throw me a George Clooney bone, anything. Sandra Bullock was OK in it, but I was so tired of her depending on George Clooney's character to save her...and the whining, the whining just went on and on throughout most of the movie. I guess I just wanted her to be more "professional," or tough like the Sigourney Weaver's character in "Aliens." I was so disappointed to see George Clooney, the only interesting actor in the movie, drift off into oblivion. I kept hoping the camera would follow him. Oh, well...maybe in the sequel they will go looking for him and call it "Gravity 2, In Search of George." I gave it a rating of 6 for the great special effectsbut, "special effects" does not make a movie!
