Gravity Review: At
first sight Gravity may appear to be an everyday space disaster film,
and you would be right. Gravity follows a simple concept, on and paper
it may seem a bit tedious in fact. However,
what highlights this film as one of the most cinematically perfect films
ever made is not its story, but its execution. Visually, Gravity is
perfect. The CGI is incredible, and flawless to the eye. It is very
beautiful to admire, especially in the opening 17 minute continuous shot
which is designed to do nothing but make you admire and immerse
yourself into the space ‘scene’. During this continuous shot, as you
drift around George Clooney in the cosmos it is evident that Cuarón
wants you to take a moment and enjoy this scene, before it all goes to
hell which it inevitably does.
The film is littered with stunning
visuals, through the times of calm everyday dialogue and terrifying
scenes of peril. Gravity pulls you in and throws you into the scene and
with clever camera-work, even you sometimes forget you are sitting in
your chair. Gravity has been anticipated for its supposed realism.
Although according to the space pros, its far off from being realistic,
the everyday film fan could not spot the flaws. The realism in Gravity,
such as the lack of sound in space and the non existence of air creates
an atmosphere that has never been experienced in film. Watching a
spacecraft get torn apart in total silence is like nothing you have ever
seen. How Gravity incorporates the idea of realism and the low hope of
survival really makes you empathic for characters, and vouch for their
survival.
Gravity is almost cinematically perfect.
No question there. Gravity exists to immerse, entertain and to strike
that fear that we all have in space back into us. It creates visuals
that have never been witnessed before and it is to date the best film to
see in 3D. The acting from Sandra Bullock is outstanding, and she
deserves credit and a lot of recognition for her role in this
masterpiece along with George Clooney. Gravity sets the standards for
modern cinema, and creates an experience that will be hard to beat in
years to come.
