An utterly epic adventure

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2014)

I have heard a lot of buzz about this film with its massive success and I must say this film is absolutely superb. This film documents a medical scientist and a retiring astronaut attempting to survive a disaster in space that can bring out new leases on life for at least one of them. Now there are really only two performances in this film from A-listers Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and they both deliver great performances. Bullock really carries the film and she delivers a great performance by making the audience buy into her character and really believe in her situation as she panics like you do. Clooney has a slightly smaller role but is still great with his calm and cool character and it seems Clooney may be hitting his stride again. The story at first could have seemed a bit generic but it really hits home just how severe this situation has become and how it affects Sandra Bullocks characters life. The script was one thing that could have hurt the movie because the dialogue between Bullock and Clooney had to be good because they are the only people in it, and I must say I thought for the fact that it was only them two I thought they did a very good job with the script. But the best part of Gravity and the thing looked at the most is the style of the film, the cinematography of space is fantastic and everything shown including the destruction involved in space just everything about it is fantastic. This film blew me away and coming in at an hour and a half is the right length and is the superb demonstration of space films.
