Stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds Here is my review;
Good Movie
Pros - special effects, action and sets. Unlike other reviewers, I had no problem with the alien. The way it looked and moved looked good to me.
- interesting ways of getting the crew members picked off
- interesting to see Ryan Renolds in anything other than an action comedy. As always, he plays himself --- the wise cracking action hero. But it's in a serious movie. And he is the first character to die.
Cons - too much melodramatic emoting. Real astronauts are trained to handle life threatening emergencies. This crew screams, freaks out, and cries too much. For example, the first time the alien attacks, immediately the crew freaks out, and starts screaming in hysterical confusion. Not realistic. And too much time spent on crew members crying with sad music, and reflecting on personal feelings. Not only was it real eye rolling and annoying to me. It really slowed the movie down.
What did you think? |

I thought it was entertaining but a bit forgettable.
I honestly don’t remember much other than a couple of the deaths having a nice impact and being pretty brutal without having to be too violent (not that I don’t love violence).
Production values were really nice as well, good to see some relatively high budget space horror.

It was okay. I liked that they didn't wave away the absence of gravity with some techno babble but in the end, it's basically "Alien" (1979).

What did you think? That is the point.
Chuck Yeager, of sound barrier fame, said that in moments of stress, most folk don't panic but do what they can with what they have. One day I will illustrate the point with the story of my mum, the Luftwaffe and her wedding dress.
Not too sure about all this. My idea of a good horror movie is when Peter Cushing drives a stake through Christopher Lee's heart and then walks away with Hazel Court on his arm.
Even so, I will dowmload the movie.

Was a really good horror movie and disgusting should've been a sequel.

I was surprised by how entertaining it was, some really good set pieces. It was rumoured (wrongly) to be a set up for venom and it would have worked perfectly to be so. But I am glad its not tainted by being connected to anything marvel.

But I am glad its not tainted by being connected to anything marvel. Couldn't have been linked to the Venom movies because it was better it's like saying The Rocketeer starring Billy Campbell and Timothy Dalton is rumoured to have been linked with the Elton John movie Rocketman a movie for retards. |

I think it is a dull Alien rip-off with a memorable ending.
Not a terrible movie by any means, just bland and forgettable. Aside from the ending.
Basically I was strained to care much about anything that was happening, which will obviously make for a boring viewing experience. It wasn't so boring that I strained to finish the movie though. It is one of those movies that evokes a response of indifference.

I thought it was alright, if a little bit predictable.
Sometimes if I'm watching Gravity, for some reason I find myself thinking that if Sandra Bullock's character had screwed up near the end, she'd have got the female British astronaut's ending.

I watched it on television and enjoyed it okay. Like others here, I don't remember much about it.
