So women can't drive - is that your point, Mr. Cuaron?

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2013)

I was disappointed by this movie. The plot is a dumbed-down version of Apollo 13. Unrealistic elements abound. Every seven-year-old can spot the flaws. The character of Ryan Stone is so incompetent, it is annoying. While the acting (impersonating a stupid character) may be great, the character itself is an abomination and spoils the entire movie. No space agency would launch such a person into space. Or perhaps the director wants to show that women cannot drive?
Some say that the visuals are great. Yes they are, but we have seen it all before. Avatar and a hundred other films have great visuals. So that is not enough. I give it 3/10 because I was on the verge of walking out the theatre.
