Gravity: A rare, impeccable film
Gravity
Starring: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney
Rated: 9/10
Gravity is a marvel suspended in space, a rarest of rare gem that holds you in total thrall; a spartan wonder keeping you on the edge of your seat all through the one-and-a-half hours. Considering space is all about an endless dark dominion, there are quite a few paradoxes mounted beautifully on this short and stunning piece of cinematographic poetry directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Imagine a spatial odyssey shot in the most constricted space of a satellite module floating some 400 miles above a picture perfect Earth! Mounted impeccably on 3D FX, it is a matter of intense applause for Alfonso’s underrated genius that he could hold your unwavering attention with just two persons on the screen all through, with one of them drifting away into nothingness very early into the film.
Astronaut Sandra Bullock, the only human on the screen for most part of the film, involves you inexorably in her fight for survival amid unexpected debris showers that hit and smash her space station forever. Gravity is, indeed, a classic with unparalleled gravitas, an Oscar film that outdoes everything, even the possibility of remote failure.
