One guy - seems like there’s always one - told me that I shouldn’t criticize a movie unless I have the ability to make a better movie than the one I’m reviewing. I do, however, value “the suspension of disbelief.” This film only suspended my disbelief for about 15-20 minutes. I don’t expect scientific plausibility of science fiction films. Some assumed I object to the film’s “scientific implausibility.” Nope. I can’t imagine why I would have done that, as I am a fan of this director, and have eagerly anticipated this movie for a long time. Some criticized me for “judging” this film before I saw it. Some called me “self-important” and “an elitist.” What kind of elitist repeatedly admits that he’s just one moviegoer, describing his experience, and gives credit to others who have a different opinion? Hey, I even linked to a review by a colleague who disagrees with me. Some called me a “hater.” I gave this movie a “C” on Rotten Tomatoes - which is a long way from “hating.” Those who actually read my review will find that I’m impressed by several aspects of this movie. It was about a trend in big-budget special effects movies. And yet, I made it clear in the opening paragraph that this was a blog post about more than just Gravity. Some complained that my review strayed from its subject. When I posted the review, I included all kinds of disclaimers.
