Gravy & Gravity

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2014)

And heaps of it .. Enough to keep you firmly glued to your seat for 3 full hours .. Not an easy task in times where people barely have the attention span to read their own name .. Yes, Matthew McConaughey delivered a stellar performance and the story sparkled to the last minute without turning stale, can you say the same about your beer ? From the first minute the movie effortlessly takes you inside and ties even the most far out concepts into a clever storyline. The visuals pleasure the eyeball and even though no one has ever seen space time bend itself around a black hole, the voyage never turns into a bad LSD trip or a whack video clip from the early 80ies

One of the few things that made me frown a little was the cornfield set ablaze by Murph to lure the brother out of the house so she could ponder her bookshelf in peace, decipher the Morse code and save the planet, I mean it seems a bit much, to destroy the last food on earth just to have the house to yourself. Also, at times the music was too loud for my sensitive human eardrums but other than that, an incredible experience, with hints of dry humor, marinated in human warmth. Possibly one of the best SciFi movies, for years to come
