If you can't afford to go to space, watching Gravity is the next best thing you can do

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2013)

If you are not super rich or friends with space entrepreneurs or not hopeful about living till space tourism takes off, drop everything that you are doing and watch Gravity in IMAX.
The visuals are so great that you can hardly find time to follow the plot. It's mind blowing how the visual effects incorporates " Everything is in constant motion " principle.The screenplay dwells on emotions and weaknesses of the protagonist as much as it brings out her strength of character.George Clooney does well as an experienced cosmonaut.But it's Sandra Bullock who steals the show with a scintillating depiction of survival in space.Thankfully there is no drama of the kind " we will save human kind " or " we will save the mission/vehicle".
The special effects in the movie manages to transport you into space and the musical score lends gravitas to the scenes. But when the movie goes silent,space feels so scary.Now,I know why Howard in "The Big Bang Theory" was so fearful of space travel.Do not miss it!
