Amazingly manages to keep its audience engrossed for an hour and a half in space

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2013)

I would love to give "gravity" top marks, I really would. It is a genuinely unique movie. Set in space for 98 percent of its running time. Plus its special effects are amazing, and look completely jaw dropping on the big screen. It is a great flick I have to say, but one that relies on, and in some ways NEEDS its 3D effects to get by.
To me, 3D is still a gimmick. If you've seen one 3D movie, you've seen them all. If you haven't seen anything in 3D since "Avatar," then "Gravity" will be a wonder to behold. Unfortianly though, i've seen a lot of 3D crap since "Avatar."
Still, the flick amazingly manages to keep its audience engrossed for an hour and a half in space. Doing this without having to resort to aliens or big fiery space ship battles. Its all about Sandra Bullocks struggle to survive in a realistic (Or at least more realistic than usual) movie version of space, and I've always had a thing for these one man shows. Especially when you find yourself genuinely rooting for this characters survival, in a creepy environment, where anything can happen.
So, in short, it is great. But come on. 3D isn't still cool? is it?
