The GRAVITY of this cinematic masterpiece is path-breaking!

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2013)

Now it is going to be hard to review "Gravity" without letting slip any spoilers. Yet i believe i have done an excellent job of it.
Gravity unlike any other Alfonso Cuarón film has broken all the box office records except for "Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban", which also mind you screams "ALFONSO" in every frame. To be honest it deserves all the success.
To even begin to imagine how Alfonso went about conceptualizing the idea and the "screenplay" for this film boggled me to no end. Reason being some scenes being so engrossing and that he actually knows on what part of the frame the audience are going to focus. That he goes for a bokeh in scenes which you would least expect it, yet they are so bang on that you would not realize it a second too soon.
So Alfonso deserves a double thumbs up.
Coming to dissecting the actors performances Sandra Bullock is the "man of the hour". Very few actors have been given an opportunity to shine like Bullock has been and she does 147% justice to it. She has succeeded in invoking pathos for her character which is of a very common insecure woman who has seen her fair share of problems in life. It grips you when the actor is so accomplished in her trade to point of passive dexterity. Enough said.
The genius of Gravity lies in spinning a most terrific tale of Space travel which is so fragile and beautiful that it connects on a subconscious level. Lucky is the director to have been able to envisage and be able to exploit the concept of helplessness of man in space so amazingly before anybody else was able to do it.
Gravity in the years to come will achieve a kind of cult status nevertheless yet it will never be as popular as space sagas like Star Wars series or Superhero movies like Dark Knight trilogy. Because it lacks in star power and pre-release hype which the other movies got. The way this movie will grow on you will surprise you to no end. Yet if the director or anybody do decide to make a sequel to this film whether it turns out or be good or bad, i think it will be a sacrilege to the film and they deserve no forgiveness. That is the respect which i have for films like this, which are in a class of their own,
Myself being an avid amateur astronomer the movie spoke to me at a very deep level. Hope everyone enjoys this film like i have. Watch it when you have a weekday to kill with a fellow movie buff or watch it on a weekend with all the fanfare and a large group of friends, It doesn't matter because you will love it anyhow.
