Gravity experience in the third dimension

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2014)

For the first time ever I felt that 3D technology and a big wide screen is an absolute requirement for thoroughly enjoying a particular movie , watch this on a big cinema hall screen , not on even the most sophisticated of the home theater !!! ( Been skeptical all the while about the role of 3D technology as a part of the good complete movie experience ) . A gripping thriller that gives a very different story experience , could not help marvel at the advances that visual imagery has achieved since the original days of CGI . Occasionally reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick masterpiece 'Space odyssey' , and some scenes of self sacrifice vaguely reminding of the cliff hanger classic 'Vertical Limit'. And the great musical score . tender moments of being forlorn and lost in deep space enjoying an earth reminiscent audio transmission of the dogs barking and a total stranger trying to communicate in a strange language that one cannot understand .. the final visuals of the astronaut lying on the muddy banks , trying to grip a handful of wet earth , rising upright then walking away  marking the quintessential triumph of the determined human will over the worst of the caste away situations  this is one true Oscar experience . A 7/10 .
