Some movies boast an experience which gives you a solid reason why the art of cinema influence a huge section of people comparing to other arts. It is the experience which is so realistic to life and yet fictitious that can provide the awe-struck moments during the viewing. "Gravity" is one such cine experience that keeps cinema distinct from other art forms by its maximum application in both sound and 3D visuals. We have seen many movies related to space expedition after 2001 - A Space Odyssey but I am sure none will be able to provide such a captivating experience like "Gravity".
Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is on a space mission along with Lieutenant Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) encounters an obstacle in form of debris after the destruction of the Russian satellite. This movie is about the efforts to survive by the duo in the most challenging circumstances.
Even if the film carries the clichés moments of movies carrying survival themes where character start of lose hope, plans to give up, moment of inspiration etc etc, you will not say the movie was predictable at any point. Now thats the strength of an outstanding screenplay presented by the director, Alfonso Cuarón, who brings you to the most exquisite cine experience after Avatar (better for me) in the world of space. I cannot point out a single second of dullness through the whole experience and without wasting anytime, the movie starts off in top gear with the splendid 10-20 minutes (which seems to be captured in a single take) and thus gets elevated from that point onward until its end. I don't know whether I can term this movie as science fiction thriller alone because there were some bloodcurdling moments ( like the second debris attack) which created an impact that many horror films failed. Even though the screenplay is strong enough, I was totally mesmerized by the visual extravaganza that made me feel as one of the character or simple step into the shoes of the lead character. Thus Alfonso was able to provide a space ride and which shakes you emotionally. Now if a director is able to achieve that, its the sign of magnificence.
Sandra Bullock was simply terrific as Ryan. She did maintain her signature style of acting which was groomed within the requirements of the character. While George Clooney simply charmed the audience with his one-liners as the optimistic Matt Kowalski. Steven Price's score elevated the mood of the scenes which carried tension. The score towards the end provided an epic feel. Otherwise the movie carried silence at most of the parts.
Very few will leave without a doubt whether the film was shot in a studio. Because Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography along with superlative 3D visual effects makes us wonder how can they capture such shots with utmost realism without going to the react location.Alfonso Cuarón & Mark Sanger maintained the mood and flow with the editing work. The works by the special effects team along with production designer has come up with a meritorious effort in creating the space world along with satellites.
In short...this isn't just a cinema...this is an experience...even if you are not a science fiction fan or simply hates space stories, Gravity still can enter the list of best cine experiences you had...at least for me, the Best 3D Cine Experience till date.
