An Artistic Adventure!

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2013)

So let's talk about Gravity. Gravity, in my opinion, is one of those movies that is more of an artistic experience than a plot driven story. Other examples include: Life of Pi and Pan's Labyrinth. Some people may hate that idea but personally I think that it can create a door to whole new worlds like... Space. And Gravity is definitely a great example of this. Some of the shots in this film truly show the size and scale of space in a way that sends shivers down your spine and makes your hairs stand on end. The film also has a great soundtrack which is really suspenseful and exciting one minute but pretty and peaceful the next. If you want a good example, look up the track "Atlantis". Truly breathtaking. The first hour of the film is one of the most breathtaking experiences I have ever felt in a movie. You truly feel like you are floating around in space with these astronauts. But when everything starts to go wrong... The film starts to feel a tad cliché. Not bad, just cliché. A good example (Spoiler alert) is when Ryan is in one of the space stations She starts to say a speech that I feel like I have heard about 30 times already. The speech is about how she will never give up and if anyone is going to save her life. It's her. So if you are looking for a good film, give it a shot. But if you really want a plot driven story with a complex and sophisticated feel then look elsewhere. An artistic and beautiful adventure that will take your breath away. Gravity gets an 8/10
