This is what 3D is developed for

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2013)

Wow, what a movie. This one is definitely made for a 3D experience and that adds a lot to the eerie emptiness of space. Well, not so empty as there is a lot of debris passing by every 1,5 hours. As a quite inexperienced space-walker, the main character, Ryan (Sandra Bullock) has to survive the multiple attacks by the debris destroying everything on it's path. At first she is still helped by the very experienced astronaut (George Clooney) but she dramatically loses him and turns out to be the sole survivor trying to make her way back to earth.
The way it is filmed, with the use of the 3D and the zero gravity makes this movie a very interesting and scary experience. The camera sometimes takes the point of view of Ryan and you feel the panic and need to survive. Even when she's about to give up you do understand and of course hope that she'll find her survival instinct back. You start learning bit by bit about her background, the loss she had and how she (not) deals with that. In the silence and emptiness of space this all gets a deeper meaning.
I've enjoyed this movie since the first second it started and was in full awe with the images of earth, space and the debris that wreaks havoc with every possible exit. The storyline is about survival, but with adding the background story of Ryan it's so much more than that. Bullock may be nominated for an Oscar for this movie. I think she deserves to win it as well.
