Well, when a film gets 7 Oscar wins and it is instantly available on Amazon Prime Video we immediately watch it. I was thinking of a series of Hollywood films which unexpectedly started with this film.(Also, the reviews before are just precursors). The beginning of this series is with a space film. A technical achievement as its output is in the elite league of Avatar.As a result, it was one of the best films of the year. Let us talk about this film in a second after this picture.
- Gravity is a 2013 space thriller starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in lead roles directed by Alphanso Cuaron. This film revolves around Dr Ryan Stone and Matt Kovalski, two lone survivors of mission STS-157 and their quest to return back to Earth. But, a Russian satellite smashed into pieces poses a threat to them. Will they return back to Earth?
The story is simple but because it is a space film, it becomes complex. To say the screenplay is good is an understatement. It brings great detail, skill and determination to bring such stories to life. There is absolute greatness involved with how the buildup is done, how voices communicate the threat, how living in space in tough as hell and that feeling when you are the lone survivor and you are on Earth touching sand and feeling gravity after a long time. The screenplay is engaging and puts us in the edge of the seat. I was not able to even go to toilet when this movie was going on.
This film has 2 cast members and 4 voices. The 4 voices of Houston Mission Control, Chinese Space Station, Explorer and the Engineer are good and are apt choices for their respective roles. But, the 2 main leads are spectacular. Giving a good acting performance is one thing, but wearing the space costume and putting themselves in a zero gravity environment is not actually possible for many actors. Sandra Bullock in particular is in her own league as her performance is lasting and real. George Clooney is great too bringing a light feel to an almost unsurvivable situation. He is the most experienced and the actor's experience too shines.
This film is an achievement in how realistic space could be. The space is the main part of the film and if it failed, the film would have become a joke. The Oscar wins mainly come from these departments. The score of this film is absolutely engaging and riveting. I actually thought this score in one of my favourite scores of all time. The editing of the film is sharp as hell. It's cut of exactly 90 minutes sounds fishy but actually it is very sufficient and immersive. The cinematography of the film is solid and the angles the cinematographer shows in this film are unseen and in a space film, the visuals are the most important thing and he delivers. Speaking of visuals, the VFX. It is the best part of the film. It's use is very unnoticeable. They show the Earth, a Satellite, 2 space stations and 2 escape pods. All of them are rendered to perfection and the best part the use of practical effects. The set design, costume design are made to perfection. The director of this has worked for years to make this film and his clear vision shows in the film.
Overall, this film is an experience we may not get anytime soon. Watch this film in IMAX 4K or UHD or 2K at least. 24 crafts with the best vision always give the best output and so, the 7 Oscars and the many accolades. I recommend this film to everybody. Enjoy this film.
iMDB Rating:7.7/10(Some say this film is overrated)
My Rating: 9/10(The story is simple)
