Movie Review: Gravity..deserves universal applause!!

Making a 3D in movie in space is a smart idea.Those of us who have been to a good planetarium will know that watching the stars and the blue planet from space is thrilling in itself. However, to make a movie like Alphonso Cuaron has made Gravity is a mark of a genius.

These words aren?t easily written by me either ? since to this date I hold Cuaron responsible for practically destroying the 3rd movie in the Harry Potter series (Prisoner of Azkaban, for the uninitiated) through his direction alone. With Gravity though ?he more than redeems himself and brings 4.5 years of hard work (that?s time it took to make this movie, I am told) to epic fruition. This one?s a must watch ? all the way and it is to be seen in 3D in IMAX and IMAX only

Gravity is set in space and runs for only 90 minutes. Within those 90 minutes though, Cuaron manages a smart script that keeps you interested despite the slow nature of movement in space due to the absence of gravity itself ? and delivers an enthralling spectacle.

The attention to detail is astounding and if the hall became a little more deprived of oxygen there?s a good chance you would consider yourself as part of the movie. In a sublime blend of technology and special effects with 3D, Gravity becomes an immersive and realistic experience. Long after you leave the hall, don?t be surprised to find yourself wondering ? how in the world this kind of visual imagery was made possible in the first place.

To make matters better, Cuaron even manages to lend some gravity to what could have been completely acceptable fare as a cut and dried script - which is probably the moment Gravity becomes a great movie from a good movie. To say more would be unfair

To further bolster Gravity ? Cuaron entrusts the movie to two highly capable leads ? George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. Bullock should probably heading for an Oscar nomination with this one and George Clooney plays his familiar, self-assured character with demonstrated ease.

To put it in a nutshell, Gravity doesn?t take one step wrong. (Houston, we ?don?t? have a problem with this one). It is comfortably my Movie of the Year thus far and I don?t expect that to change either. Just go watch!!
