Elizabeth Mitchell would have been better in this role

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2013)

'Gravity' is the first ever film I saw in 3D. No, I didn't see 'Avatar' in 3D, in fact I only waited to see it on TV.
I saw 'Gravity' in 3D because I knew I would be able to. That means, all other 3D films are full of fast movement action packed scenes, that my eyes simply can not withstand. But in 'Gravity', although there was some movement, it would be slow and quite breathtaking with the earth down below. I had to see this movie.
And I have not been disappointed. 'Gravity' is a superb film, total 100% enjoyment even if one finds the plot quite dull at times (which I have not) - just enjoy the camera movement, the scale of it all. Breathtaking - did I say it already? Yes.
I understand they wanted big names for these roles. I always liked Sandra Bullock but in this particular film she was just 'OK' for me. It's a shame, because there are tons of great actresses who could have done it better, indeed like the impressive Elizabeth Mitchell ('Lost', 'V', 'Evolution').
As for George Clooney - well, he is OK but again I feel a better actor could have made this film even more outstanding then it is.
To summarise - great film, magnificent cinematography, amazing cgi, captivating plot. A fantastic way to spend 2 hours. Go and see it.
