Subtle fantasy

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2015)

Acknowledging the factual flaws, choosing to ignore them makes the movie very enjoyable. It doesn't need to be scientifically accurate to be a great film. Don't let the seemingly vague dialogue fool you. This was one relatable movie with it's subtle and very real dialogue instead of the recent "deep" Hollywood movies. The panic and broken spirit is well portrayed, in my eyes explaining how easy it is to forget any training, being inexperienced. Bullock does a great job throughout the film, as does her counterpart Clooney, portraying the relentless veteran, trying to keep up her spirits just as much as his own. Depicting a catastrophe the movie is packed with action, but at points the viewer feels the Murphy's law weigh heavy on the plot, a bit too heavy. However all the things that can go wrong do so in a stunning manner, and it's a delight as well it's very captivating to watch. Beautiful to behold, simple in means of delivering emotion, it's a gripping piece that leaves you terrified, in awe and full of fighting spirit.
