A visual feast.

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2013)

First off, if you haven't seen this film, go see it on the big screen today, preferably in 3D. Gravity has excellent CGI which it uses to bring us breathtaking shots of planet Earth and the silent tranquility of space. Sandra Bullock delivers a fine performance in this. The film is highly tense, especially earlier on. There are some nice emotional themes in this film that moved me.
Alright, so this film has received a lot of universal acclaim. However, I will say it is overrated. Yes, it is beautiful and fairly solid. But it suffers mostly from two factors that keep it from greatness. First, is George Clooney's character. He might as well have been a charismatic robot because his characters was utterly unrealistic. Second, around the last half of the movie, Murphy's Law apparently decides to set the universe against Sandra who miraculously doesn't die on several occasions. Willing suspension of disbelief takes some serious blows.
