Gravity

Never have I been able to completely loose myself and become entirely engaged in a film before. Gravity's use of stunning 3-D technology and unbelievable graphics literally remove you from your cinema seat and drop you directly into outer-space.

Not only were the visuals absolutely on point, the acting by George Clooney and Sandra Bullock was so spectacular that I was able to experience a new realm of reality that I never really thought about in depth. This film had numerous jaw-dropping moments and I felt as though my heart-rate only increased as the movie continued. I've never been so emerged in a movie before, to the point that I was actually scared, nervous, and filled with anxiety for the characters. It's really as if you're floating through space and experiencing the same turmoils as the characters.

The 3-D aspect of the movie was also incredibly natural and really brought the film to life. As you watch the characters uncontrollably fly through space in zero gravity conditions, you begin to understand the real dangers of space travel. It opened up a whole new respect for the brave souls that take this risk of exploring the unknown, and truly shows how unpredictable and helpless we become in zero gravity conditions.

And if you're wondering how they develop on the actual plot, it's fantastic! I was able to connect on a personal level, mainly with Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock's character). This movie isn't just about the dangers of space travel; it also depicts the idea of life and death and how we struggle to deal with it. Ryan Stone is a complex character who's definitely gone through a lot of struggles in her life. Not only does she have to deal with her space adventure, she also has to come to terms with her personal problems on top of it all.

If you want to see an incredibly suspenseful movie that pushes you to an almost uncomfortable level of anxiety, this is definitely the movie for you. It's also breathtakingly beautiful to see the Earth from an almost unrealistic perspective. The best quote to sum up this film, "Terrifyingly Beautiful".
