Art!

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2013)

Alfonso Cuarón has a way of hooking into the viewer emotionally and he did so again with this film. The movie was gripping, suspenseful and expressive. I felt as if I was right there with Bullock, going through everything that she was going through. The scenery throughout the film was so stunning and overwhelming that I almost felt unworthy of watching it. I'm not an astronaut or scientist so I can't comment on how accurate the depiction of space was but I sure did appreciate the visuals.
I was hooked, I was scared, I cried, I laughed and I questioned what I could do to make my life better. This is the effect watching this film had on me. Alfonso Cuarón doesn't just direct movies. He creates art, like a painting. And any good painting incites emotion. So that's what watching his films does to me. This movie was definitely a 10 from start to finish.
