Here are some of the reasons I didn't like it:
1) The plot offered no surprises. We knew from the very beginning what was going to happen: Somali pirates took over a ship and eventually their plan to collect a ransom was foiled.
2) The only thing the movie had going for it, besides Tom Hanks, was non-stop violent behavior. It was tense from the very beginning and got progressively worse as time went on. Violence is basically all they had going so they needed to stretch it out with the help of a strong leading character like Tom Hanks. Give me a break!
If you got motion sickness from
3) The part about the lifeboat, because it was so prolonged and bobbing up and down, caused me to get motion sickness. I think the camera must have been hand-held and it was panning all over the place. It reminded me of when we first started taking 8 millimeter home movies about 65 years ago.
At one point I left to get a drink of water and I almost felt like I needed to throw up.
4) The best part, if you can call it that, is when the 3 Somali pirates got shot. I was so thankful that it was over. I didn't start feeling normal until several hours later.
Warning: If you have a tendency to get motion sickness, it might be best to avoid seeing this movie.

If you got motion sickness from this movie, then "Gravity" would completely put you over the edge! You probably should stick to Disney.
