HEROES are people that are fighting with lack of gravity in Space.

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2013)

As a truly passionate person about space for many years, I wanted to watch this movie in the best conditions ever. It happened to find myself near an IMAX movie theater this Friday, in Rouen (Normandy) so I went to watch it with my heart open and I wasn't disappointed at all.
The environment. Space. That fascinating place where our cosmonauts dare to travel, to work for science, for Earth, for us. Think about the risks and the stress they endure to perform their tasks in non-optimal conditions, as long as the situation allow them to do. Think about that these RARE people who have a no-guaranteed-ticket back to Earth (history has proof, and it's all recent) were trained to go above us all. And unfortunately, there are people who had never come back.
The story. As you can watch in the trailer, a few cosmonauts are trying to repair/maintain something in space, more precisely, the Hubble telescope but something happens and they need to stop the mission. The smallest accident in space may be fatal.
The main characters. While I had no doubts about Clooney, (secondary character) I was afraid Sandra won't fulfill his role. Bad mistake. This is probably the best role she has ever had. I won't enter into details but Sandra is transporting herself perfectly in her role. The emotions she's getting trough are so palpable, maybe I'm going a bit out of the way but just remember Natalie Portman in Black Swan, how she completed her role. Sandra is doing as much as the same. The emotions! George's character is under exploited but it has enough meaning to count in the movie.
The Motion Picture & Visual FX Sometimes you have the impression you are watching a real documentary. The Earth seems to be so real, the lights, the shadows, everything is pushed to another level so close to reality. It feels so real. There are many moments where you are feeling like you're inside a cosmonaut suit, turning around in space at no gravity, while Earth is turning as well around itself and the sun.
The Soundtrack In space, there is nothing to carry on the sound. Excellent job by Steve Price. :) Minimal but sometimes heavily spontaneous, just as like the movie is.
Conclusion. This movie is unique in his style. Survival, Drama, Adventure? One thing is sure, it must be watched in IMAX or at least in 3D Relief to really appreciate the huge amount of work that has been done on this side. I guess it is the only way to totally immerse yourself in this almost-realistic unforgettable adventure of Dr Ryan Stone.
