Review Gravity


Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is on her first space shuttle mission. She is accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), who is on his last mission. The two astronauts are tasked with repairing communication panels during a spacewalk.When a Russian satellite explodes nearby, sending speeding debris towards them, they are forced to make an emergency evasive maneuver that leaves Stone hurtling into space and their shuttle in ruins. With fuel and oxygen rapidly running out, Kowalsky must rescue his partner and reach a neighboring space station before the lethal wreckage circles the Earth and destroys their only chance at returning home.

 This movie grabs you by the throat and thrusts you into the action like no other movie in recent memory. They make you have this urge feeling how terrifying it would be to be lost in space. Not only did the movie look tense, but also breath-taking. Never have I felt the sheer terror, the utter horror of the events that unfolded on the screen before me as if I were right there experiencing it. The claw marks will likely remain upon the seat I occupied for quite some time as I felt like I was holding on for dear life for the entire movie. Intense, engrossing, visually impressive and persistently memorable. Gravity met my expectations in every way. This reminds us why we love going to the movies so much, to experience something unlike anything we've seen before. This groundbreaking movie has set high expectations for not only it's realistic visual effects but it's cinematography and vivid emotion. I expect this movie to become a classic for generations to come and will never be forgotten.

 I personally am convinced no other actress could have pulled this off like the endearing Ms. Bullock and I'd be very surprised if she wasn't nominated for an Academy Award. She is front, center and everything this movie is about. She did not lose her sense of humor when we also needed it. Although not having a lot of screen time, George Clooney delivers a note-worthy performance as Matt Kowalski, the astronaut on his last space mission before retirement. He also tells some amusing stories about his past. He provides the comic relief.

 "Gravity" might as well be declared the Best Picture of this award season already. As of now, it can already be considered a lock for the big prize because of its audacity of scope, its technical excellence, its memorable performances, and above all, its images full of artistry and symbolism.
