Stunning

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2013)

Visually, this film is just stunning. Personally, I tend to steer clear of 3D movies, feeling them a bit of a gimmick, but seeing this in the cinema was like looking through a window back at the Earth. In general, it's a life-affirming film against a stunning backdrop - and don't be put off by reviewers who will try and patronise with a 'couldn't happen' attitude - true, the complete storyline is, at best, un-plausible and at worst outrageously exaggerated but it's 91 minutes well spent. The experience - heightened by the soundtrack - is something quite special. See it before it leaves the cinema. (I went back to see it a second time, something I never do.)
