An Oscar contender in more than one category!

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2013)

I wasn't too sure about seeing this film, after all it looked kind of one dimensional for a sci-fi flick. Boy, was I wrong! The special effects are dazzling and awe inspiring and fabulous but, this is not just a special effects feast for the eyes....there is one heck of a good story here. You actually believe you are in space. The writing is phenomenal, the acting Oscar worthy. Sandra Bullock was amazing and the musical score was the perfect foil for the storyline. Even George Clooney was exceptional. This was a story of survival plain and simple but done with such mastery that it draws you in and you are there with Ryan Stone throughout the whole movie. You are invested in her fight. It was a simple story told by a master director. Hats off to Cueron and son! GO SEE THIS FILM!!!!!!!!!
