Gravity (2013)
2/10
Gravity relies more on its visuals than its plot
29 March 2015
I'm really glad that this film won 7 Oscars. I really do. I think Alfonso Cuaron really deserves his award for Best Director. As well as the visual effects team who make this film more impressive. The cinematography, the terrifying silence of the outer space, musical score and the editing were outstanding and it adds more beauty to this film. The outer space looks so realistic and impressive that I was completely amaze seeing what it's like to be in there. There's no doubt that sci-fi fans will love this flick. But for those people who just want to see and experience a sci-fi thriller roller coaster ride just like me, they'll be disappointed. Sure, the visuals were a top notch, but what about the plot? The movie itself relies more on its visuals than giving away some storyline. There are some few suspense and thrills, but that's it? The film's premise is not really that intriguing. Who would want to see a film that the main character spends the entire movie floating on the space and keep bumping into stuff, muttering, and desperately trying to gasp for air? It sounds boring.

The script was poorly written. Too much terrible dialogue and awkward situations that got me scratching my head. I don't care if this film was praised by critics. I don't care if this film got 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. I don't care if this film got a metascore of 96. I don't care. This movie is so boring that I spend every second glancing at the clock, waiting to end this film. I nearly died of boredom. The visual effects can't help for me to make this film better to watch.

Overall, Gravity is more appropriate movie to watch if you're into sci- fi genre. But let me tell you something, there's nothing wrong if you want to watch this film, but it could be boring at times. So be prepared. I give this sci-fi film a score of 2.5 for the visuals, cinematography, etc.
