A Good Film, but Over-hyped

Rating: 1/10 (30 October 2013)

Yes, there is no denying that gravity is a solid film. However, the only reason why I'm rating it a 1/10 instead of a worthy enough 7/10 is because 8.6/10 for this film is simply too high.
The plot was very limited, and because of this, they were ultimately effective in delivering a some-what entertaining experience; which was, in my opinion, because of the cinematography, sound and editing.
The acting, script, and plot were nothing short of mediocre, however, the use of angelic music to heighten certain scenes in the movie, as well as the utilisation of a variety of sounds (sometimes even being complete silence) was done perfectly and captivated most of the audience. An example of this was the high-pitch noises which compelled the viewer towards the plight of the protagonists situation and added a sense realism. The camera work should also be commemorated. But hey what can you expect from Alfonso Cauron after his critically acclaimed Children of Men which was notorious for it's hand-held like camera techniques, and cinema verite. Visual effects were also top-notch i may add.
Bottom line: This movie should be rated a 7.5/10 not 8.6/10. It is simply too high for such a mediocre storyline, script and acting performances. I recommend seeing it in 3D though.
Also, to give you a perspective on the absurdly high rating gravity received, (it is currently 8.6) it is rated higher than any other space movie that i know of (including 2001 space odessy, alien, and the original star wars). Do you actually think gravity is worthy of being #20 on the top 250 movies of all time IMDb list? It's currently higher than gladiator, the departed, dark knight rises, American history x and saving private ryan; which are all, in my opinion much much much better and worthier to be in the top 250 than gravity....
