I have a particular feeling about
movies which have a tragic backdrop, like for example, movies involving different
kind of animals doing breakfast, lunch and dinner of humans, survival movies, movies
involving natural disasters, end of the world movie, they bring the horror
inside me to the surface, I just hate them
all equally.
So when the question came about ‘Gravity’
a movie involving people lost in space, it was like my worst nightmare has come
true. I even didn’t have the courage to watch the trailer of the movie. A concept like this is enough to give you creeps.
So why did I even bothered to watch the movie? Well because off all round appreciation
by everybody including my younger brother. And the result is not easy to describe.
The movie is principally about two
astronauts, who due to an accident loose their ship and starts floating in the space
with no communication with earth. The idea in itself is enough to scare the
shit out of you, but while watching the movie that never happens and that is
the beauty of the movie. The dialogues and interaction between the two
astronaut keeps you engaged and even make you wonder what you will do if you
were in the same situation. George Clooney
is amazing in the supporting role, this man does not loses his charm, not even
in space, and Sandra Bullock has also preformed a complex role with ability. The
photography of the movie is just amazing, ditto to story, dialogues, direction
and music, but the best part is in the end when you leave your seats you are a
happy viewer due to the overall experience.
Putting a genre
on this movie will be unfair. All I can say about the movie is you take back a
spiritual experience back with you to your home. I watched the movie in 3D, and I beg you to
watch it only in 3D. I sincerely believe that no other movie till day deserve
to be seen in this technology but this one. You may have enjoyed other movies
with 3D technology and the graphics may have impressed you, but in ‘Gravity’
the 3D technology make you go into the shoes of the characters and in the whole
movie you feel like you are floating with the characters, and all I can say is
that it is an out of the world experience.
Rating ****.
