Gravity - Review

This was the most anticipated film of the year for myself and Ollie, so we couldn't wait to see it, especially after hearing rave reviews from many film critics. We chose to see it in 3D because even though we don't like it at all (usually its used as a stupid gimmick in films that don't need it and after the film you are left with a headache and wondering why the hell 3D ever became a thing) this film was said to be the best use of 3D in the history of cinema. I have to say the 3D was very effective in this, and I completely agree that it is the best use of it that I have ever seen. However, 3D or not, this film is spectacular.


It's the most tense film I've ever seen, just as you think everything's all ok, you are plunged into the tension again. The film is a 2 man show; Sandra Bullock is absolutely sublime and George Clooney makes a very good support. The cinematography is unbelievable, they spent 4 years creating the film, and had to actually invent the technology to make it, and you can really tell upon watching it, it is something never seen before in cinema.

This is the best film of 2013 for me, and I wouldn't be surprised if it swept up every Academy Award going.

10/10
