Gravity is an adventure that takes place 372 miles above earth and Director Alfonso Cuarón and an incredibly
talented SFX team go to great lengths to make the audience feel like they are part of the adventure.
The SFX and 3D in the film is seamless.This is immersive and involving 3D.Unlike gimmicky 3D in which you see
about 3 or 4 overhead shots of characters falling off a building,or a creature or ship rushes towards you.
Cuarón enwraps the audience with long views of the vastness of space and the beauty of Mother Earth.
Visuals are coupled with a soul stirring score,and we are immediately attached to the characters.
George Clooney as veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski is his usual charming,commanding,back to charming self,
but this is Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone show all the way.She grounds the film with the characters personal
story of loss and steady persistence to try to reach point A to B to hopefully make it back to Earth.
I applaud writer Jonás Cuarón for providing surprises in a screenplay that could have been one note,the fact that he
includes so many symbolic moments that include,fatih,death,life, and evolution into a 90 minute time frame is worth high
praise alone.
Gravity is also a life affirming film,which includes making peace with the past but never forgetting it.
I hope someone is considering making this one of those 4D experiences at Madame Tussauds,well at least a
10 minute version of it.
Gravity is one of the best experiences i have had at the theatre ,and its also one of the best movies of the year.
