Gravity (2013)
expect great visual effects and a superb soundtrack, but not much more
7 October 2015
Quickly summarizing this movie isn't as easy as some of you may think. Sure, I gave it a 6/10, so that must mean that I think it's just above average, but it's not quite like that. most of the aspects of this movie were either fantastic, or pretty bad. there's very few aspects that I'd call "ok".
I think the easiest way to deal with this is to list of the pros and cons, and end it all with a quick verdict.
PROS
- Absolutely stunning visual effects (eye candy for sure!)
- A beautiful orchestrated score by Steven Price
- pretty nice cinematography
CONS
- The movie constantly breaks it's own logic and rules that the film itself explains to the audience in the beginning
-None of the characters were all that likable. Many of them were not reacting to events in the movie in an appropriate way, some even being a bit childish and silly
- An unrealistic amount of accidents and failures in the journey back to earth occur, even to the point were it becomes a bit comical (and remember, this is a sci-fi thriller that often times takes it self very seriously)
VERDICT
Even though I'm only giving this film a 6/10, I still recommend you checking it out. If you do however, don't go into it expecting a good movie, but rather a visually enjoyable experience.
