The best sci-fi for the grown-ups

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2013)

Almost 24 hours later, I still have the post viewing thoughts that the Gravity gave me. I have never watch a single movie twice in a single night at the cinema in my life, till Gravity came, I embraced it, first time in 2D and then in 3D. Thought that I would like to share some of the amazing things about this movie without spoilers. This movie unlike other sci-fi, this one is specifically for the grown-ups. The story telling is smooth and fairly easy to understand, yet terrifying and breathtaking. Start from the beginning, the movie managed to have a 20- minute take without a single cut, this is one of the most important thing need to be noticed when watching it. You will always immersed by the breathtaking views in the space, from the first person perspective and the third, everything seems so perfect until something went wrong. It's all about realism, everything is just so REAL. Even James Cameron praised the movie, saying the best space movie ever made. I wonder what's going to be for his Avatar 2. I have no a single clue about how this movie could ever achieved this kind of visual effects. Almost EVERYTHING is done through CGI via dedicated computers. This movie has to be nominated for the Oscars' best visual effects. Enough saying about the visual effects, the acting that Sandra did really letting the audiences being her and sensing the fear she was in. Little did I know, I have not seen many movies that a female is the lead role. But Sandra is and she did perfectly showing how should be done as a lead character. The movie cost 80 mil and spent 4.5 years to make. But 80 mil is actually quite good, not like other sci-fi which spent too much on unnecessary explosions and s**t; and 4.5 years, it is surprisingly long, perhaps due to the tech back then could not been done til recently. And the director did mentioned that it took them long time to select the characters, especially the lead role. The movie soundtracks are brilliantly made, it is very important to make sure they sound right, the reason being is that there is no sound in the space and all you heard just the radio conversations and other sounds transmitted via space suits. If you are an ambient music fan, you will love more about this movie. The movie Sunshine taught me how amazing the scores have to be in order to be enjoyable! So the soundtrack are awesome too. This movie is absolutely EPIC or awesometacular! "There is none like it. This movie did push the limit of current film techs and made a super fine model for the sci-fi filmmakers or even any other types....."Don't want to stress too much on the movie cliché just watch and watch in 3D at all cost. Lol that is all!
