Lots Of CGI, Little Story

Rating: 5/10 (26 October 2013)

Okay go see the movie 'Gravity'. Why? Because it gets a super high rating. Because everybody else has seen it, so you'll be able to carry on an informed conversation about another CGI movie and be up-to-date.
But don't expect much in the way of dialogue, characters, or plot, in fact don't expect anything. The first fifteen minutes of 'dialogue', if dialogue interests you, just might have you scratching your head. Who wrote this drivel? And it doesn't get any better... well it can't, actually. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney? Okay they help. Gotta have a couple nice looking stars to sell the product. From my point of view that's good enough reason for them to be in the movie but sorry I don't see any awards here.
This is a lot of 3D CGI and a lot more 3D CGI. I just don't see that it's all that great, sorry. A half hour of that'll do me. And adding to the problem was the 'discount' matinée price of $20 for two. Sorry for me way overpriced. I suggest if you're on the fence about this to wait until it gets to a discount $2 theater. In the meantime you can pretend you've seen it, just ooh and aah and mention the "objects in space that looked like they were floating over my seat", and so on.
But if you like things like story, characters, dialogue, plot twists and real cinematography- not that there's much of that around anymore but hey once in a while something does come along- well I wouldn't waste too much of your money or time on 'Gravity'. Way over-hyped.
