Rating-7/10

Gravity is a film that although I feel was and is overrated, still manages to put together a good drama and with some breathtaking effects, I would still recommend this to everyone. From a fine director who has only really come from the shadows with this film to a duo that share this film and well Ii must also mention they are two of the biggest stars in Hollywood. With it's massive effects come massive affects to the characters and with some speedy space junk to and escape pods everywhere this film guarantees thrilling stuff. I felt this film was strongly good, and here is why.

The story is a good one, not the finest I could think of but with some great thrills and also spills, you are never not gripped to it. I felt that the story at times did rely on it's effects and soppy stories of home to fill in the gaps but nevertheless it is a solid story and even if it is kind of simple still makes for pleasant viewing. The pace is fast and big and you really don't know what will happen next, this one reason rated this slightly higher as predicting what happens around her is near impossible and all down to writing of a great writer and director.

Sandra Bullock in the main role does a good job if not slightly over dramatic one at times but manages to be great by the end. George Clooney as back up seemed nearly too chilled to execute his role well enough and just seemed to float around the entire film without trying to do anything. With this there are only ever the two in it which makes for cool viewing as you do in the end get to know quite a bit about them even if the movie is only 91 minutes long, good stuff yet again from Cuaron.

Alfonso Cuaron has to be one of the most underrate directors of our time and I swear he can make any film better than it seems or just generally better. His skill with the word is good too and some dialogues I this although not always executed perfectly by the cast, is great stuff and his choice of dialogue is intriguing at best. I can't not mention the effects which are just massively and crazily big with some sublime work done by the studio behind this, the entire thing looks real and on such a scale too just wow, one of the best film for effects I have ever seen seriously.

I do feel this film is overrated like I said, although Cuaron is perfect and did deserve his Oscar for his work, I got annoyed with Bullocks character and wasn't sure if that was just how Cuaron wanted her to be or Bullock wasn't playing her right. I also will add that although the drama is good and thrilling, this film offers very little more in terms of anything and I cannot see why it is so highly reviewed as it seriously is nothing special(well maybe the effects are but effects don't make an entire movie flawless).

Those who enjoy space adventures will like it as Gravity is basically what it says on the tin, she spins around in the earth's gravity a lot, but it makes for good viewing though. I think Clooney fans may be disappointed as we don't see loads of him and his screen time is just not enough for him to save himself from his stale performance. I know I sound like I hate it but it is actually worth a watch from anyone, no matter what type of film you think you like, this can be enjoyed.

Overall I give this a 7/10 meaning it is Strongly a Good film, it is very near to being very good but certain factors don't allow it to move upwards to there. Don't watch this and say you like it because all critics say they do and because it won Oscars, see for yourself, I didn't find it great but it was good and personal opinion is everything here. One more thing is the score by Steven Price which I am not kidding can make you heart beat faster in the more thrilling parts, and also go see this in 3D if you want even more thrills than it already gives.
