If "2001: A Space Odyssey" Wasn't Boring Enough

There are great depths of boredom to be plumbed as 2001 cannot compete with "Gravity," a space movie starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

Here's the story:

  • Stuff hits a NASA science project in space and Sandra Bullock falls off.
  • Some other guy gets killed by a rock.
  • Sandra Bullock gets saved by George Clooney but then he falls off.
  • Sandra Bullock drives a spaceship by pressing Eenie Meenie Mynie Mo on the dashboard.
  • The spaceship lands perfectly.
  • We don't know what happened to George.  Our guess is that he fell asleep.
  • The End.



It's a pretty movie as the space scenes are fairly realistic and convincing.  Too bad they didn't spend anything on writers.

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney were, as ever, charming.  That was good.  We think it is important to be charming in space.
