Innovative Thriller A Must-see

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2013)

Alfonso Cuaron does it yet again! After "Children of Men", I had high expectations for this film. I was worried that the trailer would fully summarize the film, but there is a lot to experience by watching the entire film. I would certainly classify this as a thriller, because space is a scary place. With good use of sound (or lack thereof), camera angles, and cinematography, this movie deserves a solid 7/10. Though the movie is intended to make the audience feel alone and isolated, I still wish that the cast was larger (or at least more developed). Other than that, I saw no issues with this movie. I keep thinking of "In space, no one can hear you scream." If Alien had not used this tag line first, I think it would have been fitting for this one.
