Been Waiting a Long Time For This One

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2013)

It only took 45 years for someone to top Kubrick's 2001. And now it finally happened. Not only was it technically near perfect, but Gravity had a solid story and great acting from Bullock and Clooney to boot. I'm trying to picture another actress in Bullock's role, but I can't imagine anyone who could have done a better, more believable job of it. I've been a fan of SF films (although, this isn't really SF) for about 60 years now and started reading in the SF genre when I was about 10 years old. My two favorite films to date, until now, are 2001 and Bladerunner. Of late, the only one that even came close to them was Avatar (3rd best). You may be able to find some technical glitches in this film if you look real, real hard, but I bet they'll only be trivial. All I can say is: move over 2001 and Bladerunner; you just got some brand, new competition for my vote.
Alfonso and Jonas Cuaron - Nice piece of film work, indeed.
