Gravity

Gravity stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts stranded in space following an accident during a spacewalk.

Utilising a lot of new technology it is a beautifully stunning piece of cinematography, I would recommend you see this in the cinema in 3D on the biggest screen you can find.

Not only is it beautiful to watch, the storyline isn't bad either, As much as it is about the survival at that moment, it also has a lot to say about loneliness and escapism in a much wider context. I do however have one small gripe, one of the major plot points of the film totally defies the laws of physics in zero gravity.

Bullock is superb, she carries the entire film almost single handedly, and proves once more that she can turn her hand to many different roles.

Visually this is by far and away the best film of the year so far, and if it does not win several awards for cinematography I will be amazed. I would give it the full 10/10 if it were not for the failure to obey the laws of physics 9.5/10
