Worth Going to but....

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2013)

I really like this film, and I believe that most will enjoy it, so I highly recommend the movie for people to go and see, but is this movie great, like people are calling it? Certainly not! Is it great because it's technically excellent from a cinematic perspective? Yes, but the story telling of this film really falls short in the second half of the picture, and it's only 90 minutes long. Sandra Bulluck could not carry the film on her own, and I'm aghast at anyone who says she did. To say she deserves an Oscar is quite ridiculous because the film tapers off so quickly when she becomes lead that they had to bring Clooney's character, Matt Kowalsky back for a "cameo" to make the film interesting again, and I'm a person that really likes Sandra Bulluck. Her best line, "I've got a bad feeling about this mission" was completely setup by the Kowalsky character as well.
Great cinematography, great story telling for 45 minutes, but almost an absolute bore for 45 minutes. One of the biggest issues with comedies is that are almost always funny during the setup portion of the film, but cannot hold anything during the remaining portions, and Gravity Unfortunately befalls the same fate. This movie has allot of parallels to the film "Open Water", which was compelling throughout. The cheesy Hollywood ending of Gravity just shows to this day that brass in Los Angeles still have not guts and had to make this movie more palatable for the general public when more than any film (maybe) I've ever seen demanded a different outcome.
