Please...it's only a movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2013)

This is only my fourth ever review on this site so, I am no expert movie critic. The previous three reviews I posted were of movies that I believe should never have been made under any circumstances. (Look them up by clicking my user name.) Gravity, for me at least, was different.
I read through many of the bad reviews others have posted here and I was amazed at how many people wanted to go into great detail about how the physics of the movie were not credible. Well, sure, of course - it's a movie! If we only ever dealt with the possible and realistic then movies ranging from Dumbo to Star Trek would never have been made. It's called the suspension of disbelief folks and Hollywood puts butter on its bread because of it. If viewers have not worked that out yet then, frankly, why watch anything?
I think Sandra Bullock did a great job carrying this movie more or less on her own. And, if reality is the marker here, when we consider that for 90% of the time she was emoting with only a green screen for company, what she did was actually remarkable.
Go see Gravity. It's worth the ride. Houston out.
