Finally watched Gravity, having really rated Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men from the same director (both easy 9/10's).
Well...disappointed to be fair: cheesy dialogue, having to be reminded countless times of her humanity by way of deceased daughter (not a spoiler, no worries). Kubrick's 2001 never saw fit to push our emotional buttons with his characters that way, and that's often seen as one of the greatest films of all time so he had a point.
Clooney was annoying.
Gravity would've disappeared into the ether of forgotten movies were it not for the spectacular use of camera & FX work. Cuaron might've overdid some of the swinging/panning shots but they were still pretty frakkin' amazing. Wondering how much of the camera work was real and how much digitally-panned?
6/10 in the end, same as Under The Skin. And like that film, Gravity's still worth a watch, but ultimately is too up its own arse.
