"Gravity" Falls Flat

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2014)

If you find excitement about seeing Sandra Bullock rolling around in space panting for two hours, this is the movie for you! The main point of this movie was simply to show off how good CGI is nowadays. The CGI was in fact amazing to look at, which is why I gave it a 4. But it is a truly lacking movie besides that. There's not really much plot and the characters are the generic carbon-copy helpless female and George Clooney (yes George Clooney is his own category). That scene where she barks like a dog on the phone.....though touching to most, I found very embarrassing. I got what was happening in the scene....but...just no. I watched this back when it came out....and that one time had left a strong impression on me. This is one of the most overrated films on IMDb. "The Exorcist" has an 8 just like "Gravity". Now let me clarify this. In "The Exorcist" those two hours are filled with such classic scenes including (but not limited to) a girl peeing on the carpet, spider-walking down stairs, puking in a priest's face, "why you do this to me Demi?", and a priest getting hurled out a window and down the alley stairs. All "Gravity" has to offer in its two hours is (like I said before) Bullock rolling around and crying in space and hallucinations of George Clooney. What a waste of celluloid!
