I was very excited to see this movie, especially after reading some very promising critics' reviews (I know, my bad) that this was something of a cinematic event approaching the level of Stanley Kubrick's 2001:A Space Odyssey.

While Gravity does behold some very good technical achievements, it falls to earth with a silent deafening thud in terms of story and especially in the script. Like so many other hyped up visual cinematic spectaculars of the computer age, the star of the show is the effects, while it's stars, through no fault of their own, are left to try to lift a simple, rather boring narrative into the stratosphere to solidify the drama of the spectacle.

The film looks clean and beautiful as one would envision if jettisoned into outer space, and the 3D effects are truly in your face. However, despite a valiant performance from Sandra Bullock, the drama often gets convoluted, and the dialogue is dotted with many a cringeworthy line.

All I can say is, before you spend the extra bucks on seeing Gravity in 3D and AVX, don't say I didn't warn you.
