Best space film i've seen.

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2013)

I will be the first to admit that the first trailer I saw for Gravity (I believe during Man of Steel) I was not impressed. In fact I was turned off and told my friends "how can this be a good movie, the whole movie was in space, people won't be able to relate to these characters. Even after seeing the second trailer and finding out it was only 90 minutes long didn't help to convince me. What sold me was when James Cameron said "its the best space film ever made!". When the man who did Aliens and Avatar, two of the biggest sci-fi movies ever says that, you know this movie is nothing short of fantastic. It was, there isn't a lot you should know going into the movie other than the special effects are impeccable. SEE IT IN 3D!! I don't see many movies in 3D because I believe unlike most people, it actually takes away from the experience. But this movie is a true spectacle, not many movies about choosing life or accepting death can be great in only 90 minutes. This is the best feature film in 2013 so far and should win a few Oscars. Sandra Bullock is good as 'stone' in a role that was originally offered to Marion Cotillard. And Clooney is in his comfort zone as 'kowalski'. There really isn't any other cast members in the movie, so enjoy the ride as it is, a true cinema masterpiece. This is what films can be, and should be for years to come. Bullock goes through many ups and downs in this movie and all I can say is that the trailers don't show you all you will get. Yes it's all in space, but it rightfully is. The long scenes are what really show how great the cinematography is. Most importantly the first scene shows how great CGI is now. Sitting with a crowd in which there are so many scenes with each person shaking their head and jumping out of their seat at the screen show how much emotional pull this movie can have on people even with a simple script. 10/10 best film of the year.
