When I sat down to watch Gravity I didn't really have an idea of what it was about but I was sure it was going to be good considering everyone was talking about how amazing it was and starting off it was pretty good, the visuals were amazing as was the atmosphere and the soundtrack was beautifully put together but past some good music and famous actors lies nothing more than formulaic Hollywood by mixing a seemingly dumbfounded woman alongside a somewhat smarter man who remains calm well the woman just freaks out shows nothing more than misogyny and it really does beat me why people like this movie so much. They always complain and complain about how this and that movie is Hollywood garbage but liking movies like this is the reason. A woman on the verge of death with a sad past who manages to escape every near death situation within seconds of it happening and no way to talk to somebody isn't that new. Sure it was in Alien but that was over thirty years ago. Maybe I'm saying these things because I walked in with high expectations but it wouldn't exactly help if I didn't. I'm not someone who really wants to listen to Sandra Bullock breathe heavily whimpering "HE HA HI HA HE HA HI HA" for ninety minutes. I could go on and on about faults and nitpicking and things like how she's wearing a tank top and booty shorts in cold dark space. Not to mention the stupidest scene involving Sandra mimicking a dog. I'm going to leave you with a quote that Sandra uttered in this movie. "Woof, woof dog"
