My Thoughts on Gravity

November 14, 2013

This movie is one of those movies where you want to know what happens at the end, but you kind of do not want to sit to the whole thing. This movie is not bad, just long. And that is one of my only complaint, it’s just to long and the science of the movie was here or there and never consistent.

Here’s the thing, if I want to sit at a movie, I want to be lost and mesmerized by its story. That usually leads to a loss in time. When one becomes fully enveloped in a movie and becomes invested in  its characters, you do not wonder “Gee this movie’s pretty long.” But I found myself thinking that every 15 minutes. It wasn’t the story that was engrossing, I personally found myself enjoying the concept of drifting aimlessly through space as a thriller, I do not think this type of movie has been done before. But I couldn’t get into the characters. It wasn’t their acting, I think Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are both wonderful actors, I just cannot get into the characters for some reason, and perhaps the reason for that is the second reason I do not like this movie.

The science is here or there. There are scenes where the science was realistic. But there were scenes where Bullock’s character was floating, but her hair was not. WHAT?
HOW CAN YOU CALL A MOVIE GRAVITY IF YOU DO NOT PORTRAY IT CORRECTLY? IT’S LIKE HAVING A PINK PANTHER MOVIE WITH OUT THE PINK PANTHER…OH WAIT THATS WHAT THEY DID!
This bothers me because I grew up a child known for his logic, and math and science skills, and as such, seeing something that obvious bothers me to no end.
I can understand when people tell me to suspend disbelief for something like that, but I mean come on, what you’re misportraying ( I cannot say lack of, because there is supposed to be a lack of) is in the title of the movie. I just cannot get over the fact that there is gravity where there should not be any.

Overall, I think this IS one movie you should see ( probably once because it is too long to sit for a second time). I think the actors were decent and the story is something I haven’t seen before and if you’re not a stickler for science as I am, then I think you will enjoy this movie.
