Gravity (2013)
Cast: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Synopsis: Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical
engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last
flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes.
The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone -
tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
Reviewer’s Rating: 5/5 reels
Review:
The movie started off great and doesn’t waste time
getting to the reason why everyone came to see the movie. Cuaron did an
excellent job at directing such an incredibly intensifying movie. He conceived
the idea of the film about four years ago but it is just now coming out because
technology has advanced in the last four years.
The movie’s cinematography was excellent and made the
audience feel as if they were there in the astronaut suit constantly check
vitals and oxygen capacity. This experience has never been felt because now the
audience’s aspirations of going to space have been removed. Ryan Stone (Sandra
Bullock) and Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) made quite an appearance as the two
actors showed they have what it takes to work as a team. Ryan was more
emotional and stressed which allowed the audience to feel emotionally attached
to her as she neared an empty oxygen tank.
The movie had one part in particular
that was rather confusing, Ryan just entered a space shuttle and was exhausted
and because gravitational pull is weak in space she rested in a fetal position
that seemed totally random. As the movie continued, more aspect of cinematic
graphics were beautifully displayed in a noticeable fashion like viewing the
sunrise or even as simple as a small ember floating in a circle, it was
magnificent.
This is a MUST SEE in IMAX-3D and no other way because
the experience is literally intensifying so make sure you take your high blood
pressure medicine before. Again, excellent movie and would see it ten more
times.
