A Newtonian ballet of epic thematic proportions.

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2014)

Believable characters with an effective but minimal plot allows tone, pacing, and atmosphere to rule over.
Sandra Bullock's performance ties Gravity to earth, making - what could have been Avatar - surprisingly emotional.
An all but technically perfect film - Gravity shows the glory of cinema's future, whilst paying homage to the greatness of the past - a truly transcendent experience.
Visual metaphors, symbolism and allegory are present throughout, giving a rich thematic and even philosophical depth to Gravity for those with open enough eyes to see.
Many people complain about the few sparse scientific inaccuracies and forgotten that they aren't watching a NASA IMAX movie - which is itself a testament to the visual wonderment that Gravity is. Also in case no one knows yet, superheroes aren't real and cars don't change into robots in real life.
Alfonso Cuaron's signature sustained shots force the viewer to not break away; no film has ever done immersion quite like Gravity before. You hear the word "awesome" thrown around a lot nowadays, but Gravity was the first ever film which truly struck awe into my spine.
Yet at the heart of Gravity is a deeply human story about accepting, not only death, but life.
