I thought Gravity did a great job with the special effects and the realism of space and the cinematography. I thought in my opinion that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney were great in their roles. The film provides plenty of moments of visual awe and deep tension. So overall I thought the film was pretty decent. The movie is a visually entertaining and fun for audiences who are looking for spectacular effects and truly real visuals.

What made me slightly dislike the film itself was the fact that the background to the characters wasn't explained thoroughly. OK Ryan Stone's (Sandra Bullock) daughter dies but I never really felt the pain that she felt since we never got to visually see memories or her back on Earth with her daughter. Also what kind of person was Matt Kowalski, George Clooney's character. He seemed more like a guy straight out of some hick town bar who had fond memories back at home. The plot wasn't fully fleshed out and the 90 minute span of this film was just flat out BOGUS. This film could of EASILY been 30 minutes longer. Giving the time for the characters to be fully fleshed out, what the true purpose of their mission was and what they truly experienced besides some bloodshed, tears, a little drama and a safe landing home for Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock).

Overall this film was good but not fantastic by ANY stretch of the imagination. Do I find this film overrated? Hell yes! Do I think its a bad film by any means? NO. Its a movie simply built on eye candy, visuals and tension. Yet it had little plot and poorly fleshed out characters as well as the point of the entire mission.

Gravity was OK but its only worth a one time view.
