Technically brilliant...otherwise, not so much.

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2014)

I heard a lot about Gravity. All the critics loved it for its brilliant cinematography. I was hyped to say the least. But what I saw was jaw- dropping. In a really bad way. Don't get me wrong, this movie deserves its Oscars in Visual Effects and Cinematography, but Gravity is pretty dull otherwise. At first you might be intrigued by the long takes and the pretty effects, but after roughly 15 minutes you will see how hollow the plot really is. I don't want to take away any plot points, but everyone would be able to tell this story in about 7 minutes. Everything is so slow. Sandra Bullock does her best to work with this lackluster script, but even she isn't up to par. And the ending... Seriously?
All in all I recommend the movie for its visual effects, and if you don't care about a boring plot, it's the perfect movie for you. But if you expect as much as an enjoyable watch, go look somewhere else, because you won't find it here.
