Olympia LePoint recommended Gravity (2013) in Movies (curated)

""One of my favorite science-fiction movies is Gravity starring Sandra Bullock. As a rocket scientist, I was blown away by the stunning visual effects and three-dimensional-like movement. Plus, I am thankful that producers and writers cast a woman as an astronaut to bring science concerns to the forefront of American and international discussion.""

Heist Film
Contains spoilers, click to show
I really enjoyed this female Heist film with many talented actress' .
Not much of a Rhianna fan so her being shown wasn't as annoying .

I am major fans of Cate Blanchett , Sandra Bullock & Anne Hathaway ..

I felt they really needed to get more into the Heist it kind of wraps up too early in my opinion so much more could have been explored !

** Spoiler TEASER

I especially liked how we find out Sandra Bullock's connection from a key player in her past too ..

Rate : 7 ? STARS

Sandra Bullock looks lovely as always but this film was very slow and dull. I just kept waiting for something to happen. Thought it might be a rom-com to start with but it was definitely a drama. Just so slow and predictable and nothing really happens. If you want a romantic drama watch the Notebook which also stars Gena Rowlands.

I think I first saw this movie in the cinema when it came out.

In 1993.

So nearly 30 years ago now (writing this in early 2021).

Starring a pre tax evasion Wesley Snipes, Sylvester Stallone and a very young Sandra Bullock, this is a sci fi actioner set in a (supposedly) utopian future where there is no crime, and in which Snipes character of Simon Phoenix escapes from his cryo-freeze prison (in which he was placed in 1996!), leading the hopelessly outmatched police force of the time to reanimated his original captor John Spartan (Stallone) at the suggestion of the 90s-mad Sandra Bullock Lieutenant Huxley, who was also put on ice after being framed by Phoenix for the killing of 30 civilians.

Yes, it's aged.

Yes, it still well worth a watch.

It's the blind leading the blind in Netflix's post-partum apocalypse thriller Bird Box (2018) #Review
What if “The Happening” but actually, you know, pretty good? That seems to be the starting point for “Bird Box”, an apocalyptic horror from producer/ star Sandra Bullock and director Susanne Bier, adapted from Josh Malerman’s novel by screenwriter Eric Heisserer (“Arrival”, “Lights Out”)...

I hadn't picked up on the "baby blues" metaphor, nice spot. Good review, thanks.

A good film some may find hard to follow, due to different timelines. However it makes for a pretty good thriller and although it didn't end as expected, it probably made the film better for being different.
I thought Sandra Bullock was great in this and having watched Miss Congeniality 2 a few days before, it just goes to show she can do comedy, action or drama equally well!
