Movie Review: Gravity (2013)

If I could put this movie into one word, that word would have to be, revolutionary. Gravity is an Oscar winning film and it makes sense why. As soon as it started, it had my interest. It has been a long time since I've seen George Clooney and Sandra Bullock in something this good. The camera angle does shift around often, but not in a distracting way. It makes you feel like you are lost with her, like you are experiencing the same thing. It even goes into first person view.

Anyways, the story is an accident occurs in space, killing all but two crew members and leaving the survivors stranded in space. Now they must avoid satellite pieces flying through space, but also find a station available to get them home.

Now despite how I summarized the story, this not Science Fiction. This shows us how it would feel to be lost in space. This is a realistic story. When I say this, I am not saying this really happened. It just doesn't feel like a SciFi movie. It feels more like an Action/Drama in space.

Now, there is some symbolism, but it isn't enough to say that it is annoying or anything. In all reality, they all point to the sensitivity of life and the natural need to survive.

Final Thoughts: I loved it. People who don't like quiet movies may not enjoy it as much as others, but people who are looking for a deep story and some amazing acting will love this movie.
