Poor Plot

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2014)

For a film that won seven Oscars, I expected quite a bit. Unfortunately the movie ended up being boring and utterly slow paced. The movie was not scary or suspenseful as I anticipated it to be. While it was visually stunning in some parts, everything else was impressive.
This movie follows Dr. Ryan Stone, played Sandra Bullock and veteran astronomer Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney on their mission in space which quickly becomes ill- fated when their space craft is destroyed and their crew ends up getting killed. They must take the matters into their own hands to survive as they're stranded adrift in space.
The movie had very little to the plot as it was slow paced, the acting was okay (at least by Sandra Bullock), and there is wasn't much emotionality to the story nor was there any tension to the film, at least after the beginning. The film didn't give me the spine chilling feels that the characters have. Overall, the film was NOT terrible but it wasn't what I was looking for.
