Not the classic space movie, this is epic stuff

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2013)

What a great movie! I enjoyed every minute of it and cannot say if it is the acting, the music, the amazing special effects, the directing or the cinematography or all of them put together. The fact is that I was really concerned that I wouldn't like the movie. I'm reluctant to believe movie critics when they say that a film is a masterpiece. I don't go to see a film just because it is blockbuster. I'm not even a huge fan of Clooney (I am of Sandra Bullock, though). So a lot was against this movie and my expectation level was at the lowest.
But once the film starts, the 1st sequences already put you at the edge of your seat. The grandiose cinematography puts you in another dimension of entertainment. It is a very peculiar movie: only 2 actors, very few scenarios, little dialog, restless action ... I see why so many people love this movie and why some deeply dislike it. Warner has hit the jackpot with this title, good for them!
Sandra Bullock may get an Academy Award Nomination, it wouldn't surprise me. This movie is her 100% alone in space. She's splendid in her own space misery fighting a heroic battle against the impossible.
Alfonso Cuaron becomes now for me a great director with great style, talent and class. He knows how to provoke emotions visually, just to the right point he wants.
Go see it, with no expectations, and let yourself go and share the fun!
