A great sci fi flick with pull

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2014)

Visually, Gravity is the most beautiful and enthralling film I've ever seen. Watching it on just a Dell computer screen, lights off, amazed me. I actually felt I was there, if at times in the actual actor's shoes. Slumped, back in my seat, I just got lost in the cinematography. God knows what it's like in 3D or at the Imax theatre. Our two acting heavy weights, Clooney and Bullock, turn in good performances, especially Bullock, when the helmet comes off. Although she's a stereotyped actress, given these independent woman roles like a few other actresses to name. Clooney, honestly, I just wanted him to shut the f..k up. He really got annoying, whether helmet on or off. The plot borrows or unintentionally borrows the catalyst, similar to that of an old 80's sci fi flick, Starflight One. What we've got here is a space station attacked by chunks of metal from another exploding vessel, puncturing and tearing up the station, leaving Clooney and Bullock, as the only two survivors who get separated, where fatally only one is left standing. Gravity's script starts off better with Clooney and Bullock talking co-ordinates whatever, where later it's just cross conversation but interesting and thought provoking dialogue, from Clooney, still a narcissistic p..ck. Bullocks transportation from space back to ground zero, where in many seconds we're no longer viewing satellite, is something that must be seen like this movie. Though it's not worthy of Oscar nomination for film (no way) Gravity is worth the watch alone, for it's cinematography and it's brilliantly fitting music score.
