Clear skies with a chance of satellite debris...

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2013)

I must admit at first glance when I saw who was on the cast list, I thought that this couldn't possibly be as good as people said. Yeah, I can't claim to be a fan of neither Bullock nor Clooney.
However, with all the great reviews and publicity the movie was getting, I decided to give it a go, and I must admit that I am possibly surprised by it.
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock are so far away from their usual roles here that it actually works out quite well, and especially Bullock was carrying the movie so amazingly well with her performance here.
The story was greatly paced and there was never really a dull moment throughout the movie. And those quiet moments here and there throughout the course of the movie just helped to add to the believability of the movie and it was like the audience was right there in space with them.
I will say that a lot of credit for this movie really goes out to the camera crew. Wow, the cinematography and the angles here were just great, it was very dynamic, vibrant and so full of adrenaline. The way that the movie was shot was so helpful to adding to the atmosphere and the believability of the movie.
Now, don't expect to see any aliens or foreign lifeforms. No, this is solely a movie about having all odds against you and rising to the occasion and relying on your instincts and putting your training to use. If you want to survive you will survive, as where there is a will, there is a way.
"Gravity" is great entertainment and is a captivating story and you get thrown into the action right away. The movie has a good amount of suspense and thrills, and you really root for Ryan Stone (played by Sandra Bullock) as she struggles through the obstacles.
Even with a cast list of that few people, director Alfonso Cuarón did an amazing job with "Gravity".
And also it should be pointed out that the musical score for "Gravity" was off the charts. The music was so nicely performed and really brought so much to each scene.
Well worth a watch, be it 3D or not.
