Gravity Movie Review

I saw gravity in my local cinema for Ten pounds and seventy five pence. This is the most i have ever paid for a movie ticket as i don't usually go for add ons such as an imax screen or 3D as i see so many films each month and it is quite expensive. But for what I got in gravity I think I would have paid double.

Gravity is one of those films that is both piece of art and an exciting thrill ride. Its ground breaking visual effects and a great story. its got wonderful set design costume design and cinematography, Its also got two fantastic performances and a great tight script. its about everything but also nothing at the same time. Gravity is a Modern Classic and i think will eventually become one of those films like citizen cane that people remember as a turning point in cinema.

The story is simple, Sandra Bullock is stranded in space and has to find a way back home, now this may sound like a small plot and it is. But the film manages too make it work, with both the short running time but also making the film about Sandra Bullock as a character. Its also wonderfully refreshing to see a movie with a Woman in the lead role. We see her progress from a worried first time astronaut to a fully fledged out space bad-ass, Shes great and comfortably carry the whole film across here shoulders (as if she was in zero GRAVITY). George Clooney also offers some comic relief, and though that sounds odd the film needs it all it is one of the most tense and gripping films i have ever seen.

One of the best things about gravity is the fact that its completely simple. Its short and its precise it now how much the effects have to deliver to be convincing but it also knows that the story must be character driven other wise you wouldn't be interested. And all this success comes from the director Alfonso Cuaron who to be honest has semented him self as one of the most skilled directors of all time, with the best harry potter film, Children of men and know this this cant be denied. He is a serious talent. and if he doesnt win all the awards this year there is something wrong.

There are no flaws in this film in fact if i had too pick one its that you wish the film was longer so you could continue to be part of this environment, but if it were longer it would loose part of its simplicity and Un-Pretentiousness which is what makes the film so great.


Its Perfect... Nuff Said
