This is the most tense I've been in a theatre ever

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2013)

*This review may contain minor spoilers! You've been warned* Gravity tells the story of two astronauts who end up adrift in space after a huge chunk of debris hits their ship and have to try getting back to Earth. The first thing I want to say about this movie is that it's intense, OK? Like the title suggests, this was the most tense I've been in a theatre in my life, so if you like movies that are really intense, this movie is definitely for you, if not, I'd skip it. Don't worry, that's not the end of the review.
Sandra Bullock in this movie was absolutely terrific in her role, although you could tell she was in the most intense situations in this movie out of her and George Clooney's character, who also did a great job, although I thought he didn't have as much screen-time as he should have in this movie. Speaking of which, the scene in the movie where he's being pulled adrift from Sandra Bullock, that would never happen in a real life scenario, they're in free-fall for crying out loud, she would have been able to pull him back! Come on! Another very big gripe I have with this film is the ending, not that I hated it, but it was honestly fairly predictable, I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but all I'm gonna say is it's either one thing or another. Also, this is a bit of a spoiler review, so if you're reading this you already know George Clooney is drifting in space for almost the entire second half... oops.
Anyways, back to the positive things about the movie. The thing that impressed me the most was that there weren't very many cuts in the movie at all, many of the shots in the film, especially in the beginning were long takes, but one thing I will say is for the long takes and someone screwed up on their lines, man it must have sucked re-doing that. Another thing that I liked is that in some points of the movie, the music gets so loud, and cut to the next shot where it's really quiet, some people might not have been huge fans of that, but I really liked that about the movie. There was also no sound effects where there shouldn't be which I really appreciated, even if there was sound effects in the trailers to make it seem more exciting.
This is also undoubtedly one of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen, it's up there with 'Avatar', the J.J. Abrams 'Star Trek' movies, and 'Inception', and also other movies that I can't think of off the top of my head. I've made it up in my mind that this will win best visual effects at the Academy Awards, I don't care what everyone else says, it will win! If it doesn't, that's perfectly OK with me, as long as it's nominated, I'm happy.
You know that moment when you can feel/hear your heart beating? Gravity has a lot of those moments, that proves how intense this movie really is, and I feel like the 3D made the movie very worth watching, as it's some of the best 3D I've seen all year, especially when you had debris flying towards the screen, it just looked great and didn't seem like a gimmick in this movie, because they made it work, and I know director Alfonso Cuaron said that most 3D movies are crap, but I feel like this is one of the biggest exceptions. This movie's also intense because this situation could actually happen, it also makes you not want to be an astronaut because of that.
Overall, Gravity is most likely in my top 3 movies of 2013, it's up there with Man of Steel, Star Trek Into Darkness, Iron Man 3, and Pacific Rim, I'm going to give it a 10/10, I didn't really find any negatives except for the predictable ending and the fact they defied physics, but other than that, I think Gravity is a must-see film, especially in theatres, and in 3D. I hope you liked this review, and I hope this entices you to see the film yourself, keep mining guys.
