A visual masterpiece YES a Storytelling masterpiece NO

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2013)

Once in a while you see a movie like Gravity , for which you are tempted to write your own review. I went to see the movie after admitting seeing such a good reviews out here. Reviews made me feel its a "Space Odyssey" for our generation a masterpiece not to be missed.
So i landed up in theatre as its almost 4th week now. 3D usually is not for me but after seeing Life of Pi i had change in view. And 3D is what makes this movie spectacular. Coming to the plot , which is simple , that two astronauts have to survive a catastrophe and they were none other than Sandra Bullock and George Clooney , casting couldn't be better.
The film starts slowly but before you even familiarize with the characters , the debris arrives, you don't feel a bit for those poor astronauts who die because simply you do not know them. Not even one bit. I believe the director rushed on to the plot and could have made it more humane but in contrast we don't even familiarize with main characters and before we know it , we are left with clooney and sandra.
Some people are mentioning she deserves an Oscar but in my opinion there is hardly any scene where she has done her best. And its probably due to lame dialogues and very artificial situations.
The good thing i found was end scene where the Title of the story is justified . You can feel the love and joy that can be felt when you land on the planet and walk on it after being in space and struggling to get hold on anything . So its a must watch but surely not something totally out of this world.
