Excellent Video Effects...Then, That's About It, The Rest Is Bad

Rating: 3/10 (5 May 2017)

Yes, Hollywood has managed to create enormously excellent video effects in movies, the budgets are huge, the pictures are awesome, but often, sadly, much too often, there is virtually nothing (with a capital N) behind this. Gravity seems to be an over-rated, over- praised and over-estimated movie that is in fact a boring, endless (even 90 minutes may become endless) and excruciating torture which never stops. No Zappa here, but generally, even such huge luminaries as Sandra Bullock and Goerge Clooney cannot save this yawning boredom from being tedious, slow, and very very annoying. OK, this is a very dramatic story, OK, the main hero is a brave woman, and yes, she does well in such shocking circumstances. Yes, the Earth and space visuals are stunning. Yes, the sound is awesome. No, there is no captivating plot to grab our attention. It only crawls so slow it nearly kills. And yes, we saw this type of plot way too often - a hero saves the day. Nothing new here, jut the setting is different. Can be seen and then forgotten
