I have to say, before I start this review, Gravity directed by Alfonso Cuarón is the best, the most immersive, most thrilling, most hold your breath until you can’t any longer, most sit forward on the edge of you seat film, I have ever seen.
As you can probably tell, I loved this film.
Gravity is directed by Alfonso Cuaron and written by him and his son Jonas Cuarón, has incredible graphics and effects done by Framestore, empathetic, extraordinary sound and a heart breaking, moving story which will keep you focused on the screen for every millisecond of the duration of Gravity. Not even your husband or wife interrupting the film and asking you: “Do you want a cup of tea darling?” Will distract you from the film, not even if you’re addicted to tea!
You won’t even stop watching when your microwave explodes in the kitchen because your wife, or husband decided to make you boiled egg in the microwave. On second thoughts, if they are injured and you are a respectable enough person you won’t stop watching the film.
On third thoughts, if you love them enough you might stop to call an ambulance, call your sister or your neighbour and ask them to come round, then zone out and continue the film. You can worry about the mess after the film when you decide to watch it again, then see how your husband or wife is and then call your cleaner to come and clear the mess up. Then realise you should visit your partner and apologise (pretend to be extremely sorry, but you’re not really) and then think about the film for a bit longer.
So enough with that truth! (The phrase is, enough with that rubbish) I’ll tell you a little bit about the beginning of the film.
I went to see the film in the Odeon West End in screen 2 in 3D. One last thing before I inform you a little about the film. Boy!!!!! the 3D effects are incredible and articulate and so well done!

The film starts off with 3 astronauts, one called Matt Kowalski, a doctor who has had 6 months training named Dr. Ryan Stone and a third man. They are all outside their space shuttle which is all unfolded out as they are fixing parts. Kowalski has a jet pack and is messing around whilst the other two are fixing stuff, inside there is more crew.
They then receive a message from ground control to inform them that there is lots and lots of debris orbiting the earth extremely quickly. Matt orders them all to get inside. This is serious business. Ryan is finishing what she is doing when the debris starts approaching extremely quickly. They try and pack up and get back inside the shuttle but Ryan can’t get her feet unstrapped and the crane she is attached to gets hit by debris and is spun away into space far from the shuttle. Stone manages to detach herself but is still spinning away from the shuttle as she has no means to stop her.

She gets very panicky and starts breathing rapidly and heavily…….

Gravity is currently my favourite film. I could watch it over and over. I was immersed in the film, the whole way through and not one thought related to anything apart from Gravity slipped into my mind during the film.
I urge anyone here to go and see it at the cinema in 3D whilst it is still there.

Not only is Gravity all of the above but it has some great acting in it too. There are only two actors who are featured physically in the film. The other five are voice-overs. George Clooney plays Matt Kowalski and Sandra Bullok plays Ryan Stone. Because the film is in space the techniques used to get all the lighting correct and all the motions were very complex. At lots of times, the two actors were placed in a small box with thousands of LED lights and suspended by a crane. Lots of the time they could be in there by themselves for hours as it took ages to get in and out.

This film is amazing.

I rate this film 5/5 stars.
