CAMELOT FANTASIES

So I finally watched Gravity last night and was heavily disappointed. I wasn't bored or anything and it did keep me engaged but it was unable to create any emotion in me let alone challenge my intellect. The dialogue between the two main characters was very poor and juvenile. I did not understand why a character like Dr. Stone was even considered to be in the space as a Specialist no less, when she was mentally so unstable. I don't even want to touch Clooney's character there. Absolute dire. There was no development in any of these two characters so it was very hard to like any one of them in this sci-fi so called cliche. I also did not understand why Stone didn't surrender given that she was living a remote life on earth and didn't have much to live for. It just felt like your everyday Hollywood cliche at its best. It was intellectually quite dense and was probably targeted for the mass audience for the sole purpose of making money rather than being intellectual and thought provoking.

I don't think they Director has any true understanding of a real sci-fi thriller. He should really watch 2001: A Space Odyssey if he wants to get some understanding of the space and how it really works. Even Contact will do him for now though it's not entirely filmed in space. Or watch the Russian version of Solaris to get a feel of a true sci-fi thriller. 

A couple of thumbs down from me, sorry.
