Original, Incredibly Immersive, And Totally Unpredictable.

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2013)

I'll start with saying I think this film is underrated, I think most people read the good reviews and try not to enjoy it, the films designed to be immersive and if you somehow try to avoid it you're not going to enjoy it. Complaining about bad physics is really pathetic with cinematography.
I went to the film not knowing what to expect, I'd only heard the word "amazing", I didn't know the plot, I didn't even know it was set in space, don't let anyone spoil this film to you as you probably won't enjoy it as much as I did.
The film is incredibly unique, many of the films I've seen lately consist of medieval sword fighting, it's the same thing each time. This film puts itself in a whole new category. The film changes camera angle about five times, the whole thing is pretty much done in one take. It is completely unexpected, It's hard to make a guess on what's going to happen next, it's not at all linear, and the whole time you think the lead part is toast.
The film has one big flaw, or the game has one shall I say? It felt like I was playing Battlefield whilst watching. Is Sandra Bullock even in this film? Oh she is, but only her voice it seems. It's still incredibly advanced SFX wise but it sometimes ruins the immersion and reminds you that what you're watching isn't reality, your jaw undrops on the close-ups.
There was also one quite cringy scene which I felt could've been done slightly differently which you'll spot when you watch this film.
It gets a 9 for being original, immersive, and unpredictable. But the amazing animation sometimes wasn't convincing enough.
