Like an amusement park ride - Spoilers...

Rating: 5/10 (23 October 2013)

I must have seen a different "Gravity" starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock than everybody else saw. There are some great SFX but there is absolutely no story and so many holes, it was hard to get through.
I compare this film to an amusement park ride. Plenty of thrills and close calls but absolutely no substance and when it's over, it's over. I won't bother with the improbabilities in the film but if you are a thinking person, it will be hard for your to get past them.
From a story perspective, we are expected to believe that although every other astronaut in history trains for decades, NASA let a woman who took a crash course in space exploration, travel with a crew to repair some equipment. Not only did they let her go on the mission, somehow, she has the capacity to navigate a space craft back to earth. In just a few months of training, I could barely solo a Cessna 172 and I am quite capable.
