A thrill ride unlike any other.

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2014)

I'm still shaken up from what I saw, amazing experience. The movie is a thrill ride unlike any other I have seen.
The movie is pretty short, clocking in about 1 hour and 20 mins only. The story is pretty basic and straightforward. A crew of Astronauts are in earth space orbit and something goes wrong, now they are in a fight for their survival. What sets it apart is how it was all executed. There is a good amount of symbolism and hidden meaning in this movie. Stuff like Acceptance, Moving on etc. Sandra Bullock gave a pretty good performance as a terrified Astronaut struggling to survive. George clooney was his usual charming self, he has perfected that role.
From the get go, you'll see that the movie is breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL. The cinematography is amazing, the CGI is amazing, the scenery is amazing, it just melts your eyes. One of the best looking movie ever. The views of Earth are oh so mesmerizing. The action/destruction scenes are really thrilling and impactful. You don't hear anything (no sound in space), just see stuff getting shredded and destroyed in an awesome yet terrifying way. There is just something very eerie yet great about how it was handled, LOVED IT.
The soundtrack is equally amazing. It switches from beautiful emotional score during emotional or mesmerizing scenes from really tense and thrilling score during action/destruction scenes, enhancing everything to a new level.
Make sure to watch it in HD with a good sound system, lights off and no disturbances. It enhances the experience, trust me. The immersion factor in this movie matters a lot. I only wish I could have seen it in Cinema in 3D.
One of the best movie of last year and one of the most visually stunning movie EVER. Definitely a BLU-RAY buy for me.
8.8/10
