Gravity

Sandra Bullock, George Clooney

Gravity pulls you down...and so did this film. It began with spectacular space photography, showing many views of Earth from orbit. If it had ended after 1/2 hour it would have been brilliant. But then it degenerated into the Perils of Pauline: Space Adventure and gradually lost me. Far too much whiz-bang, too many crises...as they added up it became less and less credible.

By the end I was impatient for this nonsense to be over. Tarted up Armegeddon. You couldn't fault the players...they were both appealing as usual. The scenario was preposterous and thoroughly sunk the film. Dommage.
