Finally saw this thing. Thank goodness it was only 91min and I had fast forward! All the hype! Positively disgusting. Maybe it's, in part, that I do not usually like a Sci-Fi anyway, but nothing about this movie made me want to continue watching it. But I did. How did Clooney and Bullock get so caught up in this thing. Speaking of which, "The Thing", now that was an intriguing and entertaining Sci-Fi back in its day. I'm referring to the original. I was mostly disappointed by Bullock. Her expressions and reactions seemed lifeless and unrealistic to what was happening. And they start out the "movie" stating how in space you hear nothing......and all through the movie there was this annoying sound track. I just didn't get it! So they need some music. But there were many segments where silence would have been so much more effective and less annoying. That's about 86 minutes I will never get back. No, I didn't watch the credits either. All that hype! I am rarely compelled to consider writing a review. I like most movies I've seen. Some, I see multiple times or buy the DVD. This one just irritated me with all the phoney antics. Bullock, herself, was the main flaw. Special effects did not impress me either. All in all a real disappointment. (Updated: Aug 2014. I recently saw "Contact" on Encore. I had never seen it, because I'm not drawn to Sci-Fi and Jodie Foster tired me. Not a fan. Well!! I was wrong! This movie was really good! And I thought it the best I've ever seen Jodie Foster!! She was brilliant. Gravity? What a hoax!
