Director-Alfonso Cuarón
Length-91 min.
Rated-PG-13
This high intensity action thriller was an absolute blast to view on the big screen. Sandra Bullock (Ryan Stone) puts forth the performance of a life-time in her remarkable transformation of character in this role.
For anyone who can't handle roller coaster rides or intensely gripping action sequences, this is not the film for you. But for those of you who enjoy a good thrill ride, this is one for the record books. Gravity jumps right into the action from the very start and has you on the edge of your seat throughout.
The Cinematography and special effects put on display in this film were absolutely out of this world, both literally and figuratively.
The story begins with your everyday space odyssey, when Dr. Stone is accompanied by Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) and another astronaut to complete a mission on one of the many space stations orbiting the Earth. But all hell breaks loose when a serious of floating debris destroys their space shuttle and takes the lives of their entire crew. The rest of the film follows Kowalski and Stone on their journey to find a way home.
This film will keep your heart pounding faster than ever thought possible and may even produce a tear from time to time. But all in all, this is a fantastic film from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who can stomach a trip to space.
One thing's for sure, this film makes me so glad I didn't have childhood aspirations to become an astronaut. I think I'll stick to critiquing films instead:)
