Hands Down The Best Movie of the Year; Gravity puts you on your feet

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2013)

There are few films like 'Gravity' that are able to consume you and utilize the entire running time to the full extent of their ability. From start to finish it keeps you on the edge of your seat, guessing what will happen next. The script is simplistic. It is purely about human survival and how our will to live is so much more powerful than we could ever imagine. Throughout the entire film, Bullock's performance never waivers. It is the best she's ever been and she has the power to move you to tears. The film places you in the position of her character and makes you feel as though you are in space, along for the ride. The visual effects will fool you so well, you'll think you were just transported to space for an hour and a half. The sound design perfectly ads the tension and fear that is pushing you to the edge of your seat. All these elements combined make for one considerable directorial monument for Alfonso Cuarón. 'Gravity' is one hell of a roller coaster ride that deserves, no, beckons to be seen in 3D on the largest screen possible. There is no other way to do this masterpiece justice.
