i often think that if i have not been a massive fan of sandra bullock
i still may not have seen gravity to this day
and there's no real reason for that it's just
not the kind of film to which i would usually gravitate
however i love sandra bullock so i watched it a few years ago now for the
first time and obviously fell in love with this
film so the the purpose of this review is
mainly to just share ideas and opinions with other people who
have seen it but you haven't seen the film
this will be spoiler free yes it will be spoiler free but if you
just want to know whether or not you should see the film
i personally very much recommend the film it has a 7.7 out of 10
on imdb which is you know that's incredible it's won seven oscars
apparently 233 other awards
and it has a brilliant cast it's directed by alfonso cueron
and written by alfonso cueron and jonas cueron
and the cast obviously we have sandra bullock and george clooney
the cast other than that there are a few other names but
in terms of physical people that's that's all we have
and it's such a small cast given the nature of the film being in space
that it would have been i imagine very difficult
i certainly read somewhere that sandra bullock became very kind of stressed and
felt very isolated when she was filming because she's you know spending a lot of
time on her own even though you're surrounded by an entire crew but
i can't imagine what what that would have felt like doing such an intense
filming for so long with no other actor around
you really um apart from george clooney but not all
of their scenes were together so the film if you don't actually know
what it's about from imdb the description is as follows
two astronauts work together to survive after an accident leaves them stranded
in space so they're already in space unlike a lot
of other astronaut-based films they often start off on earth and
get ready to go up and then go up and whatever problems arise
but with this one they're already in space and
something that says here an accident happens
that means they're in big trouble and you have to try and fix things and
obviously get back down to earth and it's very stressful very
very stressful because when you're watching it it's not really
apparent that they will fix it it's one of those films where it really could go
either way and obviously i'm not going to tell you
which way it goes um for me the driving force with this is
sandra bullock she plays this wonderful headstrong astronaut but
who is not afraid to show her emotions at times but sometimes she also has to
push her emotion her emotions to one side because
this is a life or death situation for them and
the acting is superb really phenomenal it deserves every award one for this the
casting as well as brilliant the development of the narrative is
phenomenal given how little set there is
how few actors there are this could have potentially become
very stagnant very quickly because there's not that much to keep you
engaged but it there's not a dull moment as soon
as something feels calm it's gone again and everything's chaotic and
it will keep you on your toes on the edge of your seat
there's not a dull moment in this film and there were a few moments where i
can't really explain the moments because they're
maybe towards the end or at least in the second half
where i just thought this is it this the film
the film has to end here they can't get out of this um that's not right at the
end that's not me seeing the get out of it at the end i can't uh say
either way um some people have actually said the
film's quite open-ended i'm not sure if i agree but then of course i would say
that the way i perceived it is the correct way to read it i'm not sure
if you have seen the ending if you've seen the film um please feel free to
message me privately and let me know what you
think of it personally but the entire film is just
flawless it is a visual treat i really wish that i had seen this in the cinema
because that would have been incredible
that would have been a huge roller coaster and visually it would have been
so absorbing it is just it's everything and more than i would
want from a sci-fi thriller it is perfect
if you haven't seen gravity you may be one of the few people who hasn't
and i was in that group but now i feel really good for having seen it several
times now and um i actually don't think i thought
the second time all the way through i think i caught it on tv
like halfway through it's brilliant absolutely fantastic
sandra bullock deserves every award she can get for this because she's amazing
and i think the film will continue to be hailed as one of the greatest
