Compelling cinema

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2013)

On one level this film is a triumph in 3D technology. It's use is restrained yet glorious in places where it needs to be. In a refreshing twist the trailer gives away all but a tiny fraction of the most impressive 3D scenes. But for all of the gorgeous cinematography and breathtaking 3D action moments where you can't help but hold your breath (nearly the whole film!) where Gravity triumphs are what it has to say about humanity, and what it means to be alive and to be human; We're all infants in the universe but on earth we're all in it together even if sometimes life isn't what we had planned. Gravity explores us to enjoy the ride, whatever that may be.
If I could give my fellow humans a couple words of advice, bring tissues. Lots of them. 9/10
