Intense

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2014)

So I started watching this movie not really sure what to expect because I'm not much of a Sci-Fi fan. I watched it on the basis that there have been so many good reviews. I have not regretted my decision. It is impossible to put into words how this movie actually makes you feel. It is superb. It is intense. When you consider that there are only 2 actors really in this film and it whittles down essentially to 1, it is mesmerizing that it could be so intense. I am literally unable to move effectively- I have to give myself some time. This movie took me on a journey. I didn't know whether Ryan would die or survive. You empathize with her but then it's almost beyond that...you experience everything she's experiencing without actually experiencing it. The visual effects are awesome and astounding and they take you out of your comfort and bring you along with them. The sound mimics your own internal processes with that wicked heart beat effect. Just brilliant. Brilliant.
