A review of “Gravity”
“Gravity,” directed by Alfonso Cuarón, the first Latin American to win the Academy Award for Best Director, is a gripping science fiction film about the struggle of two astronauts to survive after their spaceship is damaged during their mission in space. The film’s 3D feature enhances its vivid and realistic depiction of space.
One of the most captivating scenes was the initial 13-minute sequence, which depicts the tragic accident that befalls Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) experience while they work in space. The deep silence during this scene emphasizes the void of space, adding to this tension and realism. As the plot progresses, one astronaut is thrown into the vast emptiness, facing certain death, while the other one gets away safely and fights for survival. For science fiction enthusiasts, this movie is a must-watch.
“Gravity” has made its mark on the history of the film industry with its stunning portrayal of the depths of space, long continuous shots, strong performances from the cast, and more. It won Oscars in ten different categories, including Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack, Best Director, and Best Movie.
The film explores deeper themes of survival, isolation and the human will to live. Despite being released in 2013, it continues to have a significant impact on popular culture: even many years later, it continues to be featured in lists of “The Best Science Fiction Movies.”
