Review of Gravity (2013) by Melcrose — 06 Oct 2013
I expected bad, and wow did I find it. I'm all for suspending disbelief, but this.. was so in your face about what an idiot you had to be to enjoy it.
She checks her watch and has 7 minutes and 30 seconds before another round of space junk, then.. just puts on a space suit.. and still has over 2 minutes left.
Let's not even go down the "he let her go because" road.
Or the "wow, it's sure convenient to have all the space stations so close".
Or finding a drifting Sandra after How Long?
Or maintaining an impossible radio connection for how long?
Or the whole "stuff got destroyed" and now it's amazingly fast and going to eat you!
Or the whole "chain reaction" in the first place?
AND BIG FREAKING DEAL with the 17 minute opening shot! It's not like it was all filmed in real time, it's just a long CGI scene.
Space danger was the key, and when it's so horribly unreal I couldn't buy in. Like a supposed Dracula with pink blood running down his fangs.
Terrible.
