Gravity

Simply terrible. I'm not a fan of the whole tens of improbable bad events happening in sequence genre, but this is just taking it to a whole other level. The protagonist just presses random buttons and is so incompetent you wonder how she even became an astronaut. The physics and orbital mechanics in this movie make absolutely zero sense. One example out of the hundreds: it's highly improbable that the ISS and Tiangong would be within viewing distance of one another. And if they were they wouldn't stay that way for the roughly 2 hours the movie lasts, since they had very different inclinations. It would be impossible to reach one from the other with a single thrust designed for landing, even more impossible with manual controls. The first couple attempted rendezvous in history were from distances of 5 km (not the 100 in the movie) and failed, even though the pilots were clearly more competent than the protagonist here. There are so many errors here, I wouldn't be surprised if the Earth was flat (at least it would make the movie funny). This isn't just nitpicking since the movie tries to be realistic, but fails miserably. Sure, the CGI is nice, but that's hardly a selling point in this day and age (or when the movie launched)

Sandra Bullock's acting prowess is truly remarkable. Whether she's in a hit or a miss, her performances are always worth watching multiple times. Even in her less successful films, she brings something special to the screen that keeps you captivated. This particular movie was a rollercoaster of excitement, struggles, and emotions. It had me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. The thrill of the storyline held my attention throughout, leaving me both craving more and feeling a sense of fear about what might unfold. It was undeniably intense and kept me hooked from start to finish.

Gravity is an epic thrill ride that starts and never ends. I have not felt continued tension like this film in some time. The entire movie is so isolated and desperate, it is incredibly immersive. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The script is a bit rough at times, a large portion of the dialogue does not seem realistic and can come off as corny sometimes, especially with George Clooney's character. Overall, it is short, face paced, and thrilling and I would highly recommend. Score: 82% Verdict: Great
