Average at best

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2013)

Well where to start, Gravity in my opinion is the most overrated movie of the year. The special effect don't get me wrong are great if you like that sort of thing, however I feel all they do is hide the mediocre script and the boring storyline. My first problem is that the film feels slow and lacks the real edge to grab you off the edge of your seat, some would argue that it does this however I just felt that I never really got in to the story line and why anything was actually happening. Clooney plays his character very well and this is one of the few areas this works well. Bullock on the other hand lacks any real heroism in my opinion and I feel that I never really actually cared about whether she survived or not. I know this may sound harsh but if you compare gravity to Apollo 13 a very similar type of film then in Apollo 13 I actually felt connected to the characters unlike in gravity where they just seem a touch boring. However I must stress this, I did not aviator or life of pi for this exact same reason. All in all I thought it was pretty average but I do recommend going to see it because the special effects which are first class.
