Bought me down to earth

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2013)

I'm not sure that I saw the same version of Gravity as everyone else who seem to be raving about it. A plot that is minimal, a mawkish sub-plot that adds sod all, a couple of performances that were phoned in by Bullock and Clooney, a bombastic score, and some pretty 3D skyscapes.
The plot devices intended to create drama become tiresome, the characters are thinner than the atmosphere, and whilst some of the visuals are good, they're certainly not the greatest I've ever seen. We both walked out at the end and agreed that we'd both found it disappointing. Shame really as I expected so much more.
