My Gravity Review — Space is Rough

It’s getting to be my bedtime, but Blog-tober demands a post, so here goes. So here’s my spoiler free review of Gravity.

Melissa and I just got home from watching Gravity. The joke running through my head all week was that I was going to convince Melissa that I was taking her to a Sandra Bullock film. You know, a chick flick, like The Proposal? She knew enough about Gravity in advance that she wasn’t going to let me get away with any of that. But I joked anyway.

I had heard that the movie was beautiful. I’d also heard that it was fairly accurate, with some exceptions that aren’t sufficient to ruin the movie. Even though I’d heard these things, I was still struck by just how beautiful it was. Gravity looked amazing, and at no point was I pulled out of the movie so much as to think she wasn’t in space.

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney both gave fantastic performances. We saw it in 3D, and that was done really well. The sound (or lack of sound) was handled perfectly. The score was perfect.

I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this movie.

This is one of those movies that I’m grateful that I saw it in the theater, but I only need to see it once.

If you have a chance to see it, I recommend it.
