Going to space would be cool, right?

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2013)

It's every kid's dream to go into space and one day venture into our Universe. With our galaxy alone being so large, it's no wonder that becoming an astronaut is a dream for many people since it is a chance for silence, beauty and peace.
But what if there was suddenly no one to hear you. The black space full of stars was now filled with shrapnel headed towards you at very fast speeds. What if you no longer had no control over yourself?
Gravity is an excellent movie with arguably Sandra Bullock's best performance of her career. With George Clooney as the perfect co-astronaut, the exceptional casting in this film definitely helped. The thought of wandering the Universe and exploring the unknown ends is a dream to some while drifting away without end is a nightmare for others.
Overall, Gravity is a great film due not only to its superb special effects or compelling acting, but because it strokes the strings in every person's heart for adventure and thrill. It is a reminder of what our Universe has to offer and the potential for all that can happen to us.
