I loved GRAVITY so much that I went to see the movie a few times while it was in theaters. It is one of the few films where the 3D is actually relevant and works and adds something to the movie. It was visually STUNNING and none of the other space films that followed looked nearly as gorgeous. It was such a simple survival story but yet so good and entertaining. I remember the theater clapping in the end and some people crying during the scene where she is about to give up (and howls).
Sandra Bullock was incredible in this. Top notch acting and I supported her Oscar nom for this 100%. This was basically a one woman show where she had to show off every emotion and facial expression and tone. From her breathing to her reactions, she was phenomenal in this (and am thankful Angelina Jolie refused to do it cause they wouldn't pay her what she wanted. Sandra Bullock lost in space is far more vulnerable and scary than Angelina Jolie lost in space).
George Clooney was good, but he could have been great if he chose to do a little more with the small role he had. For instance, when he drifts away and he knows he's gonna die, as he's speaking to Ryan I would have liked to hear more of a breakdown in his voice. Instead he stays calm throughout. That was cool of him, so she doesn't worry, but reality would set in and I feel there would be a panic before we don't hear him any longer. I wished that Clooney would have done that, but he didn't, so be it.
Fantastic film, yet so simple, but so visually stunning. Top notch.
9.5/10
