"Gravity"










I recently previewed the movie "Gravity" which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. In the movie the astronauts are on a a routine  mission to service the Hubble telescope. The mission goes horribly wrong. It just so happens that the Russians try to remove a defunct satellite from orbit and they fail and send the satellite crashing through space. This leaves the two stars stranded in space, unable to make contact with mission control. While watching the movie you feel as thouhg you are adrift in space, absolute total and complete isolation. The acting is superb, as you actually get a strong sense of Bullock's character through her backstory. Mr. Clooney plays himself, in a space suit so what else do you want?
Now, because this is the 21st century I am going to tell you about the special effects. They were brilliant, and even in 3D, it added more to the film. Normally I think 3D is just extra money for a headache. But this movie utilizes it brilliantly.  It really gives you the vast depth of space. Oh, and the debris flying at you through the screen is pretty mind blowing. 
















I rate this movie a 9 out of 10. I personally feel that the only weak point is the ending(I promise no spoilers).  This weekend you should take your daddy and go see Gravity.
