Examplifies "the magic of cinema"

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2013)

With such a fantastic trailer, and I do mean fantastic as compared to good trailers since most Hollywood trailers are awful anyway, with such a fantastic trailer, I sure wanted to see the film, and yet I feared it might not be half as good as its teaser.
The film delivered.
This is just wonderful. This is magnificent.
I don't feel the need to analyse. I drowned in it, I spent (and still spend in my head) more time enjoying the visuals and the classic, universal story than wondering "how the hell did the director do that?" To keep it short, I'll just mention that I was a bit worried by the cast, namely by the name of Sandra Bullocks in view of her past performances, and now I know she can deliver. If you worry as I did, worry no more, and do not miss this masterpiece.
