'Gravity' A Review

Gravity is a scifi thriller about two astronauts marooned in space. The less information known about the particular machinations of the plot prior to viewing simply enhance the experience so I won't go into further detail. The visuals of the film are stunning and 3D or IMAX viewing are not a necessity but highly encouraged.

The action and visual scope of the film are immense and engrossing. It conveys a feeling of authenticity and truth rarely seen in movies involving space. The visual spectacle harmonizes perfectly with the emotional journeys and performances by the two leads Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. We are not only taken on a visual adventure there is a character/emotional journey interwoven in the film. The back story of the two characters is simple and is not overplayed or over explained hitting much needed counterpoint to the space catastrophe. The performances by Bullock and Clooney are subtle yet powerful drawing us in and enhancing the feeling of truly being there.

The film is an immersive and beautiful experience. All the elements come together to create a truly unique and complimentary thought-provoking space drama.

Don't Miss It.
