Gravity Review

The story begins in Space! It is based on the fictitious space shuttle mission,and the story begins with a catastrophe. While the astronauts aboard on THE EXPLORER are out for a spacewalk,orbiting debris from a defunct satellite cross their path and destroy the shuttle and the crew,save for medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone(Sandra Bullock) and Lieutenant Matt Kowalski(George Clooney) the team-leader. Then unfolds the story of their escape from forthcoming dangers, with disconnected signals and low oxygen for basic survival in space. In course of moving to the ISS,Kowalski unties himself from Stone in order to save her,and floats into oblivion. The lone struggle of Stone to free herself and vacillating between paranoia,suicidal attempts and desire for survival makes it emotionally engaging.

The 3D technology has been done justice as this film was made. Tantalizing visuals,the unimaginable reach of technology,the awe-inspiring yet accurate physical concepts of space,astronomy make this an exceptional movie. The use of sound and light is also intriguing when it is remarkably used for distinguishing the atmosphere in space,and the atmosphere within the shuttle. In its apparent documentary-like narration several underlying themes of existentialism,religion,evolution-as pointed out by critics,take this film to a higher level altogether. Sandra Bullock surpasses her previous works in this remarkable movie.
