Gravity may pull this film into a hole where it is quietly buried

Rating: 3/10 (16 August 2014)

This was a movie I was really looking forward to. It promised much. Cut off in space on your own with the space module gone. What were the fears that the astronauts felt out there alone as they pondered their predicament.
Like a lone sailor adrift a few centuries ago- only worse.
Man did it disappoint. It followed the same clichéd tick box formula that we expect of special effect films these days. Lots of bangs, big explosions, (yes even with a fire ball), escape processes that belie belief, fast cars banging into each other (here it was fast space debris banging into each other.
A great plot was spoilt by an inadequate script and icing it in special effects did not change that.
I never got any sense from the actors a sense of the horror they were in. Perhaps I got it wrong and it was not a serious move but a spoof.
If you like films like Die Hard and Star Wars where the impossible is possible - without any deep probing of the psych or relationships - then this is the movie for you.
If you are expecting something deeper, more interesting then this movie will disappoint.
