I recommend seeing this in the theatre in 3D

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2013)

Gravity tells a story about survival in space afer an accident has taken place. That story is not very profound nor original in itself but it is executed in a fantastic way, enough so for me to recommend seeing the film. If you have seen the director Alfonso Cuaron's previous film Children of Men then you might have some idea about how absorbing it can get.
The intense action is what really makes the film great but there are also some scenes of sheer beauty and calmness that balance the action. The acting by Sandra Bullock really helps to become abosrbed in the experience and Geroge Clooney does a fine job as well. The music is perhaps the weakest point of the action sequences: not bad but not memorable either, just a bit bland. In certain emotional scenes the composer Steven Price fares very well.
If you intend on seeing this film, I definitely recommend seeing it in a movie theatre in 3D. I'm not generally a fan of 3D but here it is definitely a positive factor that builds up the immersion instead of creating distraction.
