Still trying to catch my breath..

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2013)

With all the scientific care and detail that Kubrick brought to 2001, Gravity is a cinematic triumph of believable events that could happen. It is a serious warning to NASA and the governments of other countries that space is a horrifically dangerous environment that should not be trifled with. The domino cascade of mishaps and accidents frames the stellar performance of Sandra Bullock and provides her a vehicle for Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and the team of Alfonso and Jonas Cuaron, noms for Best Picture, Director and Writing. George Clooney provides comic relief at the beginning of the film, but it is Bullock that conquers and triumphs in this one. This movie MUST be seen in 3D. The zero G effects are outstanding and startling. Gravity may be too intense for children under 13, and for those with faint hearts, or breathing problems. I know I'll never get to space, but this film is a more-than-adequate substitute for the real thing. I'm still out of breath.
