I USED TO Dream of Space Travel...

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2013)

When I was a little girl, I strongly remember wanting to grow up to be an astronaut. (I know, who hasn't, right?) I have been an avid watcher of as many space travel and sci-fi movies and TV series as I can, and I've even studied a few astrophysics and astronomy books, attempted to go to college. I always, and even up until recently, seriously dreamed of traveling to space myself. Before, it was simply reality, and chronic lifelong illnesses and disability since childhood that had kept me from it. But that changed when I saw 'Gravity'. Upon experiencing the most immersive film I have ever been to, feeling like I also was trapped in space, with my palms sweating, toes curling, heart pounding at the speed of light, and having many breathless moments, it was like being on an hour-long roller coaster ride through space! The best 3D effects I have ever seen, and I am urging EVERYONE I speak to, that if you have even the slightest interest in this movie, anything short of a 3D cinema experience will diminish it too greatly to excuse! You MUST go see this movie in the theater! Trying to watch it at home will ROB YOU OF THE BEST THRILL RIDE OF YOUR LIFE! Upon seeing the terrors, experiencing them myself through this movie, I no longer wish to travel to space! I feel just fine with my feet planted firmly on the ground, than you! At the very least, I thought of NOTHING ELSE while sitting in the theater, and it will help you forget the insanities of our world for a short time.
If I could give it 100 stars, it would be a no-brainer! Forget those who chose to nit-pick this cosmic marvel of an experience! If you go to this movie and can think only of the scientific inaccuracies, you should be cast in the TV series 'Big Bang Theory' as Sheldon's long lost Father!
