Lost In Space Indiana Jane Meets Apollo 13

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2013)

George Clooney and Sandra Bullock go tumbling through space as their space shuttle gets pulverized by debris from a blown up Russian satellite . Not long into the film, Astronaut George runs out of air and goes floating off into deep space . Sole surviving Sandra must fend for herself now . Her only hope is to hop over to a few nearby space stations for help . Unfortunately, there just isn't anyone left to give our damsel in distress a helping hand or a few words of encouragement . Every place unlucky Sandra lands is only short lived . One by one each new sanctuary catches fire and blows up . Klutzy Astronaut Bullock is all thumbs at the beginning of the film . She can't even screw in a simple bolt to an outside panel . Yet she does manage to read the handy instruction manual on how to operate the Chinese space station that will blast her back to Earth . There's no sense revealing how this silly cliffhanger ends but let's just say it was highly implausible . Astronaut Commander George Clooney's character is very similar to that of Robert Downey's sarcastic and obnoxious Ironman . Aging and flat chested Sandra Bullock looks like she just escaped from the circus . Her face appears to be painted with clown white make up which happens to match her bulbous clown's nose. Thank god Bullock's lines are brief . She has nothing intelligent to say except lines like , Oh No ! , You've got to be kidding me ?, or Now what ? . Short on plot but long on CCI special effects ,Gravity was definitely meant to be seen in a 3D Imax theater . I imagine this movie would appeal to video game addicts and lovers of comic book super heroes . I would recommend Apollo 13 , Alien , or even the 1950's classic, Destination Moon, if you really enjoy seeing disaster in space flicks . While Gravity is not an awful movie, Gravity just doesn't seem to live up to all the media hype . Fortunately for the unhappy viewer, it's only 90 minutes long ..... Not Hot ..............PWH
