A pleasant surprise!

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2013)

On the face of it, Gravity doesn't sound like a bunch of fun. The film is pretty much entirely based on a monologue from Sandra Bullock with occasional support from George Clooney. Bullock plays Ryan Stone who is a medical engineer on a space flight. Things go wrong and she is supported by Matt Kowalsky a veteran astronaut.
Amazingly the movie is a lot better than you imagine beforehand. The acting of Bullock and Clooney is fine and the visuals are amazing. It's very hard to believe that the movie wasn't actually shot in space or a gravity free environment. It's also in 3d and a rare example where the format really works well. Very enjoyable!
