Review of Gravity

Gravity (2013)
9/10
A Neat Little Gem of Art
8 October 2013
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The cinematography was spectacular. Bullock and Clooney were magnetic as expected. I am not going to dig too deep into this film like science folk are about the laws of gravity and what not because this is a movie. Yes, movies can tell a story of truth and all that jazz but let's be honest, will any of this ever happen. . .EVER? Most likely and probably not so to think too far into a film would be pointless.

What I enjoyed about this film most is the realism it gave off in the visual department. I have never felt so close to space and loved every minute of it. The storyline itself was a bit bleak but the actors made it worth the time. This isn't much of a dialogue film as it is a film that tells the story through it's visuals. You are watching what happened to these astronauts and thinking to yourself, can this be real and if it were what would I do? How would I feel? Sandra conveyed those feelings that If I could feel, I would have. She showed the kind of fear that I would have and the kind of strength that any human would have in the face of fear and uncertainty.

No, this film is not perfect and I am sure it crosses some kind of scientific boundaries but I ask you. . . .can you do better? If not, enjoy the film, if you can, I can't wait to see it.

If you love movies. . .go see this and let go of any thoughts or reviews you have heard and see it for yourself, you will like it.
