Gravity is a masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2014)

First I must start out by saying that Sandra Bullock's performance in the lead role of Gravity was absolutely superb! I don't think anyone could have performed it as well as her. As far as I'm concerned she's the best actress of 2013. George Clooney was also superb as veteran astronaut commander Matt Kowalski. I just can't see any two people doing as good a job as these two stars.
But that's just the starting line-up. The special effects and visual effects engineered by the ultra-professional organization 'Framestore' were no less than spectacular! The orbiting spacecraft simulations, weightlessness, zero-gravity kinetics, impacts, and motion were so real that they seemed like miracles of cinematography. I simply can't say enough about the people who created these amazing special effect sequences. Their work is the main reason I agree with James Cameron and Anthony Scott when they said that Gravity has rewritten the rules of cinema as we know them, making Gravity the best space film ever made.
I'm an aerospace engineer, and there were a few scientific inaccuracies and some slightly far-fetched premises in the movie. But given the premises, Gravity's accuracy and realism is second to none in the movie industry. It is difficult to call this film science fiction because, although the story is fictitious, the science is very realistic.
Finally, Alfonso Cuaron is the main person responsible for this great film. He directed, co-produced with David Heyman, and co-wrote Gravity with his son Jonas. He has been nominated for best director, he and Heyman for best picture by the Academy Awards, and he has won or been nominated for numerous Golden Globe and British Film Academy awards for Gravity. I think he deserves to win them all! Gravity is a masterpiece!
