A terrifying, beautiful experience.

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2013)

Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is on her first mission in space, along with Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) and others, but when debris comes soaring in, the two are sent adrift and must find a way back to Earth.
Gravity is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is an absolute masterpiece of special effects and white-knuckle suspense, and I wasn't expecting it, but the characters' journeys (particularly that of Dr. Ryan Stone) are quite moving.
The effects were 100% convincing. The CGI (especially in 3D) is absolutely gorgeous, and Alfonso Cuaron's directing is breath-taking... literally, I found myself holding my breath during some sequences. My stomach would rise into my chest, and I was saying in my head "Grab something, grab something, grab something."
The acting: it was perfect. Not once did I doubt that these were real people, not actors, and that is even more impressive when you consider the star-status of our two leads. Sandra Bullock really flexes her acting muscles here. That is what I call a performance. She completely pulled it off as a woman who has lost her will, and somewhere along the way she realizes the difference between not wanting to die and wanting to live, and she makes a decision, and it is touching to say the least.
This movie feels real. We all know it's just a movie, but when you're sitting there watching the screen, it's all happening, in real life, right before your eyes. Go see it. It is an intense experience unlike anything you've seen before. A+
