Gravity sucks * 1

Yep, pretty much. 

Went to a real IMAX theater and did the glasses.  The 3D is incredible.  The story is beyond stupid and there is the usual Hollywood unbelievable ability of the stars to survive cliffhanger after cliffhanger by means impossible.  From the visuals Sandra Bullock should have had her shoulder torn to bits 3 times.  The debris that is supposedly flying past at 25,000 MPH can be seen and the final scene with Clooney is physically wrong.  There is nothing believable here or worth suspending disbelief and there is absolutely almost zero character development except some gratuitous nonsense about Bullock.

That is a vicious pan and it deserves it, but I am going to share my wife's take.  She agrees with everything above and says that if you can get to a real IMAX theater you must go.  I have to concur if that kind of shit wows you.  For me?  The greatest space movie with the best effects is 45 years old.

I totally agree with you on this. There was a lot of potential for something here but somehow it became incredibly lackluster due to poor writing.

It reminded me of Poseidon, except in space.

I don't understand why anyone would even be compelled to see it. Or why I keep seeing mainstream headlines about it.

All I needed to see was the trailer with Sandra Bullock floating by going "AAAAhhhhhh what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!!" to know that it was ridiculous.

My wife wanted to see it and she is pretty good about not annoying me with asking me to do shit I don't want to do so I gave her one.  She agreed entirely with me about the movie.
