Gravity...Good movie by my book

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2014)

The movie Gravity got many mixed reviews. I am not the kind of person who is normally into Sci-fi movies, however this movie definitely caught my attention. Just watching the first few minutes of Sandra Bullock spinning in space made me have a little anxiety attach because it made me feel like that was be going through space. This was not just for Sci- Fi lovers but also people who like dramas. I believe this is why the movie did so well was because it brought in many different audiences. Yet if you are a serious Sci-Fi lover this movie may not exactly be for you. Yes there are some flaws but it is after all just a movie with some amazing special effects but for the serious Sci-Fi fanatics you will pick out all of the little details that most wont making this movie not as good for you. This is why I believe it did have the bad reviews it got was because they were getting down to the serious nitty gritty. Where most of us just watched it and did not even notice what they would. The people who did not like this movie did not understand the main story line. It is after all just a movie there are going to be special effects because they are not really going to space to shoot this movie. You cannot forget this is just a movie when watching it and is this a likely story to ever happen, no most likely not. At the same time I can think of many movies I have watched that were very good and the story was not plausible at all. No everything is not going to be perfect or factual because again it is a movie! The main point I took away from the movie was not the facts such as if someone were to really talk in space they would not be able to hear you or if you were to cry the tears would not just float through space but stick to your body. I more noticed that only someone will the will to live are the ones going to survive. Ryan Played by Sandra Bullock does a great job showing the transformation between not really caring what happened to her to realizing she had to do this for her late daughter who passed at the age of four due to a simple accident. To the people who liked this movie I agree with you! I believe there are amazing special effect that made me feel like I was actually in the movie. The scenery is one of the many things that pulled me into this movie. Just the cover alone made me feel like it would be worth my time and money. The effects actually made me have to stop watching the movie when I was in my room alone in the dark because it felt so real to me that it gave me a little anxiety attack. Imagining yourself up in space all alone and you have no one to talk to but yourself. Putting yourself exactly where Ryan was would be very difficult. Would you have the guts to do all that she did? Most of us would not. You have to have the will to live to make it. You are able to tell at the begging that Bullocks character did not have the will and was in the mood of damned if I do and damned if I don't. You will either die in space by running out of air and supplies or you can take the chance of trying to get back to earth and possibly die that way. With that being said the little hallucination that Ryan had where one of the astronauts came back and told her she had to do this for her daughter made her realize she had to at least try. Some may say that this part is very unlikely yet if you are running out of air you are going to start acting a little goofy. Therefor this happening was not that unlikely. This lead to the turning point and you can see the emotion in Bullocks actions. She was very determined. This movie was for sure worth my money and time. The movie made me take away something other than learning I never want to go into space but that if you are determined to accomplish something you will. There is nothing or no one stopping you except for yourself. Ryan wanted to get back to earth not for only her daughter but for herself and to prove that she could do it. There is a big message I actually got and it was where there is a will there is a way.
