A True Cinematic Experience.

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2013)

Alfonso Curaon and Emmanuel Lubezkis sixth motion picture together, produces one of the most spell bounding, mesmerising pieces of art that has crossed the big screen in a long time. It is a film that works on a visceral level and on a cerebral level.
George Clooney brings his usual cool demeanour but it's the surprise casting of Sandra Bullock that demands merit. Playing the role of Dr. Ryan Stone, Sandra Bullock rolls back the years to produce a performance that I hope will gain her the recognition she truly deserves.
Similar to their earlier collaborations, the Camera work plays a massive part, immersing you in the very heart of the film, to the point where you might believe your name warrants a place in the end credits. The opening scene reminded me a lot of the "roadside ambush" in Children of Men, where the camera intertwined between one scene, truly remarkable.
Once we relieve ourself from the majestic cinematography and CGI, there lies many deep philosophical question's at the heart of the film. Covering, religion, spirituality, overcoming our past demons, taking control of our lives, the birth of mankind (the ending), it's all in here. Similar to the ending of 2001 Space Odyssey, this is a film where relive your own story.
I believe this film to be one of the most remarkable films I've had the joy to witness. A true cinematic piece of cinema.
