Movie Reviewed: Gravity (2014), starring Sandra Bullock and Georg Clooney
Mission Aborted
Sandra Bullock offers a brilliant performance in this $100 million extravaganza that capitulate the drama of a woman in space struggling at all odds to survive the tedious journey. The trouble starts during a spacewalk to Hubble Telescope when a Russian missile strike a defunct satellite which creates a serious hazardous situation for astronaut Stone (Bullock) and her partner in space astronaut Kowalski (George Clooney). The entire movie runs through the various scenarios where Dr. Stone keeps up with the danger until she successfully re-enters the atmosphere and lands in a lake. This is mainly Sandra Bullock movie where Clooney plays a supporting actor. Produced at such a record amount, much of the scenes were done using computer-generated imagery for the spacewalk scenes and automotive robots to move the astronauts. The production team found it enormously challenging to do the shooting in weightless environment.
The film was directed, co-written, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón. At the 86th Academy Awards; it was honored with ten nominations with Cuarón winning in the best director category. This movie is a scientific fiction with some inaccuracies in depicting the principles of physics operating in space, but a treat for Sandra Bullock fans.
