MOVIE REVIEW
WARNER BROS
'Gravity' outshines other sci-fi suspense movies
The galaxy is full of bad space movies. This is expected because bad space movies are so much easier to make than good space movies. There's a delicate balance in space films, and if a movie isn't balanced perfectly, then it becomes laughable. In "Gravity," director Alfonso Cuaron strikes the perfect balance then ups the ante.
A standard NASA mission gone bad forms the heart of "Gravity." When the Russians destroy one of their own satellites, the resulting shrapnel collides with the Space Shuttle Discovery. Rookie Dr. Ryan Snow, played by Sandra Bullock, and experienced space walker Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney, are the only two survivors. Tethered together and drifting with no hope of communicating with Mission Control, Snow and Kowalski have to figure out how to make it to safety before they run out of oxygen and the shrapnel orbits back.
"Gravity" plays upon everyone's

fear - blatant or subliminal – of the unknown. As Bullock and Clooney are thrown into space on their own with nothing but their spacesuits to protect them, we feel the same fear they do and understand it. Their plight brings our fears out and shows them to us in stunning detail. "Gravity" seamlessly invokes the terror of a horror movie with the intensity of a thriller.
Playing a big part in this fusion of genes are the visuals and camerawork. In one moment, with one close up, Cuaron can make space feel claustrophobic. In the next, with Bullock as only a white spot against black, he can completely change space into something so immense it's equally as terrifying. Every second of the movie is gorgeous. The colors of Earth from above are vivid and the views of outer space are even more so.
Supporting the spot-on script and the beautiful visuals, are the performances by the movie's two stars. Without them, "Gravity" would be just another space movie with an intriguing plot and shoddy acting. But Bullock and Clooney play their characters perfectly and emotionally.
They seem to completely understand their characters' fears and motivations. The Oscar-buzz surrounding them is well-deserved. As a whole, "Gravity" is a crazy, intense film that defies the space movie norm. It features a fantastically gripping plot and superb visuals. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney only add to the film's successes, accurately portraying their respective characters with the same intensity as the rest of the film. "Gravity" is definitely one of the best movies of 2013.
