Gravity Review

Gravity is a film directed by Alfonso Cuaron and starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The film is basically a survival story, as Bullock's character is stranded in space when an accident happens. Wow, this movie was simply amazing. Everything about this movie is simply fantastic. From the opening shot I knew that I was in for something special.

This movie made my heart beat faster than any other movie this year, and that is no small feat. You're rooting for Bullock's character the whole movie, and you really get to know this character throughout the movie. She should be nominated for an Oscar without a doubt for this role. She was simply terrific. George Clooney plays this veteran astronaut. He is basically the guy that tries to keeps Bullock's character cool throughout the movie. He is the one that lets her relax, and tells her what to do. The film itself is a masterpiece. I'll start with the sound itself. In space there is no sound (I think everyone knows that) so the film is basically silent. Even the explosions are silent, and let me tell you... it really is more intense this way. You only hear the characters voices, the things that the character's hear inside the suits, and the music. The musical score here by the way is amazing, and I loved it. The visual effects are the best I've seen all year. The film looks as if it was actually shot in space, and nothing looks fake at all. The story moves at a good pace, and it is never boring. I love how Cuaron holds every shot for as long as he can, and there are some simply stunning shots in here. The movie sucks you in completely, and makes you feel a ton of emotions throughout. 

Gravity is a masterpiece. Everything in this movie is excellent: the acting, sound, visuals, script, etc. After watching this I do not want to go to space. Being stranded there really is the shittiest situation any one could ever go through. There are alot of themes hidden in this movie too, and the are great. Gravity is one of my favorite movies of the year and without a doubt gets a 5/5
