The unusual movie has to be viewed in 3D, because it
is the very best of its 3D kind. The
movie manages to moonwalk the audience up around the various space stations,
and keep them there.
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock were much bigger
stars ten years ago than now, but they were excellent choices for the roles,
particularly Bullock, who rarely disappoints.Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a medical engineer on a shuttle mission in deep space, along with astronaut, Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney. Clooney’s character is a retiring, but upbeat astronaut, while Ryan has some personal demons, and uses her job to struggle through them. Their space mission seems normal, until debris starts flying, and they lose control of their positioning. The duo are forced to help each other, when they end up alone floating in space, with few resources and with no contact with Earth.
It would seem at first that this is Clooney’s movie, because of his authoritive characteristics, but a turn of events occur, and Ryan is left attempting to preserve life.
The movie is a work of genius by director, Alfonso
Cuaron, who also wrote the original screenplay.
It couldn’t have been easy to direct actors at zero gravity, while they float
on a black background. However the movie
appears totally realistic, obviously helped by its great 3D effects.
The storyline is interesting, particularly where it
deals with Ryan’s back story, and resigned view of life. The movie is also not without its messages.David Flynn
