I still believe in J.T. Petty, but this is not his home run, if ever there is to be one. Narratively and storytelling-wise not there, and hard to follow. If it weren't for his visuals and mise en scene (regressed here), and some fundamentally clever ideas, this might've been impossible to sit through.
Also, I didn't watch Gravity in 3D, I watched this in 3D, 3D sucks. Might've enjoyed this more if I watched in 2D - I kept on flipping off my glasses and realizing the film looked so much better without them.
