It's out of this world!

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2013)

This film is truly and utterly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The film is completely set in space, starring 'George Clooney' and 'Sandra Bullock'. It shows a group of astronauts on a space mission, till a satellite is blown up near by. Whilst trying to abort the mission, things turn for the worst, and one astronaut, ends up alone and has to try and make their way back to earth. When watching this film I was so tense that I couldn't move. The cinema was completely silent during and after the film. The story grips you from the beginning as we become connected to the characters, we start to like them. When things start to get to go wrong we instantly root for the astronaut to get back alive, however we as an audience haven't all experienced being trapped in space, so we have no answers. Not many people consider the fact that it is silent in space, which the film uses to its advantage, sound sets the mood and sense of the loneliness, which when watching this film, I felt the same emotions. We see the astronaut make progress and then almost like a rug pulled under the feet, its taken away. This is done throughout making me want to shout 'COME ON!'. The effects are just incredible, you believe that they are in space, and with the techniques of the person person view, I felt like I was there with them, which is an achievement as I'm usually sitting there thinking 'that would never happen'. This Sci-Fi drama proves that you don't need aliens in a movie for it to be good. Sorry not good, amazing! This film is one definitely to see in 3D, everything comes flying out at you, its the best 3D film I have ever seen and yet I have seen hundreds. It would be really good in 2D as well, just make sure your comfortable and don't leave your seat.
