Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in Gravity (Credit. Warner Bros.)
I'm sure by now you've all heard the rave reviews for Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi epic "Gravity" starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I'm sure you've all heard words like "amazing", "perfect", "breathtaking", in addition to raves for Sandra Bullock's performance. When movies like this come along, it's often impossible for them to live up to some of the hype. The horror movie "The Conjuring" that opened earlier this summer is an example. While it was disturbing and horrifying, it was not as frightening as marketing made it seem (largely in part to its borrowed tricks from films such as The Exorcist. However, the film was still excellent). Gravity, I'm pleased to announce, is not in the same category as overhyped films such as The Conjuring. It is as good (if not better) as everyone has been raving.
