Simply Stunning: Gravity review




I've heard a lot of things about this movie. They say that it is a very good movie and it should be watched in 3D. THEY'RE SPOT ON.

Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity is a film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a Mission Specialist on her first space shuttle mission. She is accompanied by Matt Kowalsky (played by Clooney), a veteran astronaut. (WITHOUT SPOILING THE MOVIE) All is well when the mission goes haywire and both Dr. Stone and Mr. Kowalsky are in deep trouble.

The movie in itself is pure in form. There is nothing extra that would distract you from the story. 3D isn't annoying at all. It helps you be immersed in the story and all the emotions it conveys to the watcher. The story alone is very simple, maybe even too simple but that's what I think is one of its charms.

George Clooney still has them good ol' acting chops, but it was Sandra Bullock who shines a lot in this movie. We can feel her every emotion flowing through from the big screen. I always thought that she's a good actress, but this is her defining moment in 2013, maybe even in her entire career! She makes this movie her own. I couldn't imagine who else could play the role.

I didn't really mind all the scientific irregularities in the movie because at the end of the day, people will enjoy how simple yet so immersive this movie really is. I bet it's already your favorite movie of 2013. I would surely agree with you on that.
