Fantastic - Only Comparable to Apollo-13

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2013)

The best science fiction ever made in last decade, a masterpiece, in fact it can only be compared to another ground breaking movie and my all time favorite – Apollo-13. Friends, please don't judge it by downloading in your computers, you will get nothing out of it, it is a 3D marvel. Sundra Bullock was never considered to be in the league of highly extraordinary Hollywood actresses, but here she has given performance of a lifetime, kudos! You will feel the horror, the fear, the loneliness, the desperation; even more than the astronaut thanks to the director. I am a great sci-fi fan and love aliens and monsters :-P, but this movie is a great example that you don't need ugly aliens or horrific martians to make an impact, all you need is to create the right atmosphere. George Cloonie also has made a great impression though his on screen presence was much less than that of Sandra's. The 3D visions of beautiful earth from space was just mesmerizing, so was the debris of the satellite coming towards you. Coming to the story, a Russian satellite which was destroyed intentionally started a chain reaction and turned the mission to a struggle for existence. But unlike Apollo-13 you don't have Ed Harris to save you out from Houston, you are all alone and nobody can hear your scream! Though it's a adventure/sci-fi genre, few of the conversations were really touching, specially when Sandra got hold of a Chinese wavelength where a father was singing to an infant which did not help her anyway for survival but reminds her of her dead daughter. It shows so beautifully that whichever language we speak, our emotions are all the same, we are only human.5/5 from me, an excellent cinema experience, MUST WATCH!
