I’m still thinking about the movie from last night, Gravity.
First off, I didn’t realize that last night was opening night for the film. Noted.
Second, I’m still thinking about it, so I’m giving it a thumbs up because of extreme beauty of filming and for its simple strong story line. I wouldn’t mind seeing it again without the pre-movie “drama” but I’m guessing I’d still be impressed by the characters and their journey and I’d still have a few moments of “I don’t think it would work that way.” Just a few of those.
I don’t like movies with huge amounts of stupid loud music. This movie used sound as something as important as lighting and even though it was loud at times (not musically) it was in support of the story.
I was surprised at my own tension while watching it, which speaks volumes for the story-telling and the ability to build and hold suspense over the whole movie. There were some plot twists and the ending was a “write your own” sort of ending.
I’m glad I didn’t read this review before I went but bookmark it and you can read it yourself after you’ve seen it and see what you think then.
