Gravity

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2014)

In all candor, "Gravity" has been the most overrated film of 2013. Our movie club, cosisting of 21 members, gave the movie a rating around 4 out of 10. For us, the film is a success in terms of digital/technical achievement, but there is nary a story and the acting is honestly very limited at best, like eating a sandwich without anything in between the slices. We discussed the brief film in detail and most of us shook our hands trying to determine why the film has garnered so much attention from the critics, in particular. Nobody I have spoken with in a period of several weeks since the release of "Gravity" late last year could understand why the hoopla and praise other than the special effects. Sandra Bullock looked uncomfortable in her role and Georgle Clooney was on screen but for a short period of time.
