"Gravity". The films title was well chosen by the director Alfonso Cuarón, although gravity itself is not the main theme throughout the storyline. It's, of course, more about the non-attendance of gravity and how it is shown in a cinematographic way. But in the end, that is the only aspect for whom "Gravity" can be seen as ground-breaking.

If you are going to watch gravity, because you are excited about an innovative storyline with great dialogues/monologues and a beautiful screen along the way, you'll be disappointed. It's going to get much less than that. There is not even one conversation that holds you in tension or feels profound in any way. Therefore the acting is OK. But, as far as George Clooney's character is concerned, it's just ridiculous and completely out of place. The audience gets stupid gags, small talk and only few moments where the seriousness of the situation and the fear of death comes to light. As a result of partly emotionless acting,flat character sketches and, in my opinion, an average screenplay, the film deserves critical consideration.

On the other hand the camera-work is astounding. The weightlessness feels almost real from every perspective you get. That is the one aspect that can be seen as superb. Of course the effects and visualizations of space were great too, but let's face it: that's not an achievement that can justify a rating like that...

All in all I think it can be said, that "Gravity" can be seen as a great movie for everyone, who does not expect more from an innovative idea. For everyone, who does not want extraordinary, thought provoking dialogues. For everyone, who sees the cinema as a place, where he can get great effects and a little bit excitement in his daily routine. In my opinion it should be more...
