Imagine Sandra Bullock and George Clooney's mediocre acting placed into a film that has almost no storyline at all and is held together with fairly poor dialogue and you will wonder why Gravity was watched by anyone at all, never mind enjoyed by audiences and critics alike.

The answer is simple: cinematography. It is the amazing camera-work that holds this film together. For the most part, the film only has one character in the form of Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) but dull writing and careless acting means that the audience don't even care about her or anything that happens in the film. However, the film is truly orgasmic to look at and you don't have to know anything about cinematography or special effects to know that this film does both of those things right.

Despite the cinematographic porn being displayed on the screen it is difficult to see why this film was so loved because aside from this the film was essentially average.
