Gavity Astounds

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2013)

Gravity. I went into this film knowing what it was about and having read the reviews saying it was a great film. The reviews were rights. Gravity is visual feast for the eyes. With such a simplistic setting (Space) and plenty of material to work with Gravity surprises time and again. The story is fairly simplistic: A space engineer and an astronaut are doing some repairs to the Hubble Space telescope when space debris comes hurtling at them like a bullets separating them from the space shuttle. what follows is a hectic-calm. Yes, its hectic but the cinematography and special effects are amazing. The attention to the detail pays off as you can see water droplets clearly. I saw the 3-d version, which I recommend, but even if you don't see it on 3-d, it's a still one beautiful movie. The acting by Sandra Bullock is impressive, I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a Oscar nod out of this. Clooney is Clooney, he's capable. With such a slim cast and simplistic setting, Gravity will hold your attention and leave you in awe.
