A Russian satellite was just destroyed by a missile, sending debris hurtling through space, orbiting the Earth, and heading right toward them. The pair are in space working on the Hubble Space Telescope when an incident occurs halfway around the world that is about to change their lives. Ryan Stone (played by Sandra Bullock) and Lieutenant Matt Kowalski (played by George Clooney).
The only characters in the entire film are Dr. Now, Gravity wasn't horrible, and the effects were cool, but they didn't launch it into the Best Movie Ever category and at times they took away from what could have been a very honest film about the will to survive, but instead became an IMAX ride through space narrated by a bad actor. It's cool to see, unusual to watch a movie like that, but in the end it does more harm than good and hides the flaws of the film that otherwise might make it unwatchable.
I'm not saying no one can enjoy 3-D, I'm saying I don't. Perhaps for some people it allows them to feel like they're inside the movie, and I get that, but it just makes me think, "Whoa that pen is coming at me!", and that makes me realize that I'm just an audience member and subsequently the believability of the film has just suffered. Every once in a while it can be done smartly and for a purpose, but to me 3-D is just a reminder that I'm in a theatre. And when you break that fourth wall bad things can happen. It's why I love movies I'm a voyeur into a world that doesn't know I'm watching. It's there to help audiences feel like they're not watching a movie, not seeing a play, not paying money to see people pretending to be other people. There's this thing called the fourth wall. I'm not a movie snob, I like digital effects, I want new technology, but 3-D is a ridiculous film additive.
I might be one of the five people in the country who doesn't, but it literally does nothing for me but give me a headache.
