Perfection on screen

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2013)

By the time anybody might read this, I'm almost certain they'll know enough about it without me explaining any sort of plot/characters etc. The reason I'm writing this is in regards to the reception this film has garnered. For the vast majority, it's being recognised as a phenomenal achievement- it is.
Let me start by saying there is absolutely no two ways about it. Gravity is as close to visually perfect as visually perfect has ever been. Lighting, design, CG, animation, costume I can't even begin to stress just how flawless the filmmaking involved in the visual aspect to this film are. Believe me when I say, maybe once or twice a decade a film like this comes around. Do not miss it. Anything less than a cinema experience will not do this film the justice it truly deserves.
Now, many people will try and tell you that the characters are not fleshed out, that the script isn't spectacular, that the science might be a little off. To those people I say, it doesn't matter.
If this film was scientifically perfect, it would lessen the experience for the 90% who don't care. If this film had a longer, more fleshed out script, it might seem like padding to most, it might lead the film to outstay its welcome. This film is 90 minutes long, not a second was wasted. A film is made for entertainment, some do a better job than others. To the small minority who would have liked to have seen perhaps a more investigative study into the human condition, a more accurate scientific representation of space I say good for you. To the people who would try and find fault with this AS A PIECE OF ART AND CINEMA for the aforementioned reasons I say, your opinion is irrelevant.
From a filmmaking aspect this film is flawless, as for the subjective aspect of opinion, think what you want. I personally thought it did exactly what it intended to do to me as a viewer, and I can't ask for a single thing more.
