Remarkable Space Odyssey

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2014)

This is a psychological space thriller that brings you into the aftermath of a space wreck seen through the eyes of one Dr 'Ryan Stone' played by 'Sandra Bullock'.It is not your regular space drama about a group of scientists stuck in space with their families and the rest of earth anticipating their safe return.
Gravity is actually a catastrophic thriller that explores human resilience to psychological change and touches more broadly on individual themes such as human improvisation in the face of isolation,summoning the will to survive in the wake of all odds including the impossibility of rescue form nearby human contact.
It is the films style of directing that really draws you in and sets it apart as one of the best.Gravity runs for 91 minutes and has only six actors of which four are only audible voices.The rest of the movie unfolds with 'Sandra Bullock' in the lead role as a medical engineer who is on her first space mission.
Gravity sucks you in with the long uninterrupted claustrophobic shots recorded in real time that portray the depths of dark space,its silence and vacuum.This works well with the intense heavy breathing of 'Dr Ryan Stone' played by 'Sandra Bullock'as the only survivor of the catastrophe.Filmmakers also explore a lot of themes in this movie such as the theory of technology in adjacent to religion,human civilization and human evolution all next to the fearful reality of space.
Don't expect any scientific jargon and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy 'Gravity' because it draws you in quickly and it goes straight to the point.It doesn't waste any time on the audience,it introduces the characters at the right pace and hits you with isolation immediately.Gravity will thrill you with the suspense and drama of how the events unfold it has been skillfully directed with stunning visuals.It will stimulate the audience to find an interest in space. Don't let go..
