Gravity works because:
- It's probably the most advanced space movie ever.
- The sound is just as important as the visuals.
- Cuaron's Camerawork Is Riveting
Beautiful spectacular visual effects aside, the movie is about Bullocks character overcoming the tragedy in her life. The shit happening to her in space is nothing compared to what happened to her on earth with her daughter. Don't forget that at one point, she gives up. She realizes her situation is hopeless and gives up.... but then..... the door opens, in steps ol' Clooney, and she changes her mind.
When that scene occurred I was PISSED OFF because I thought they movie had cheated (open door no air no air pressure Bullock should be dead) but fortunately a few minutes later the "Reveal" occurred, saving me from pitching my coke at the screen.
Going home though I wondered if Clooney was ever there at all. Do you ever hear mission control talk to Clooney's character? He was calm cool and collected during the entire movie even when he .... you know. And the scene with the 2 hands trying to reach each other reminded me of the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. Good his character actually be an angel? I don't think so but it might fit too..
LOVE Gravity.
