The finest science fiction movie since Inception.

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2014)

Gravity was a flat-out amazing experience at the movies that filmgoers will keep talking about for years. Everything in this movie was absolutely gorgeous, from the visual effects, the perfectly planned cinematography and 3D, the flawless direction of Alfonso Cuaron, the believable script and the unforgettable performance of Sandra Bullock. From the moment you see the opening shot of the Explorer Shuttle get closer and closer to the camera in one shot, and introducing the main characters of Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney, and Ryan Stone, performed by Sandra Bullock; this shot shows how they see space in their own different ways. Gravity is the Citizen Kane of digital cinema.
There are no problems with this fine film; everything in the film has a purpose whether it be beauty in the imagery (especially some of the shots of Earth in the film) or the terrifying experience of spinning into the starry-black abyss of space, out of control, or the character reveals that play out through a scene. If it weren't for Alfonso Cuaron's bold vision of the potential modern cinema can have, Gravity may have turned out to be a very different movie.
Gravity is an honest film in that it knows to use the imagery to full effect and have the visual effects affect the characters, not have them be invincible to giant CGI robots or something like massive explosions. Alfonso wants the film to be an experience that is full of moments that are awe-spiring, beautiful, unpredictable, terrifying, and full of impact.
I thought Gravity was THE film of 2013: a must see that no one should miss. Even if you never got to see it at the cinemas in 3D, still watch however and whenever you can.
Gravity gets a platinum /10/10 stars.
