Gravity

 

My wife and I got this film, Gravity, through Netflix last week and watched it over the weekend. The first thing I'll say is this, don't expect to be able to fall asleep during this film. My wife was thinking she could, and she didn't. It is an intense film that keeps you with the main character played by Sandra Bullock the whole time. Plus, the views of Earth and space are amazing!

These are Oscars it won this year according to www.imdb.com
- Best Achievement in Cinematography
- Best Achievement in Directing
- Best Achievement in Film Editing
- Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score
- Best Achievement in Sound Editing
- Best Achievement in Sound Mixing
- Best Achievement in Visual Effects

It was nominated for:
- Best Motion Picture of the Year (2013)
- Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Sandra Bullock)
- Best Achievement in Production Design

Those Oscars are a good way to judge if this is a good movie. Sandra did a great job in her role as a medical scientist on her first space flight. She and George Clooney work together well in a film that I would call a must see (especially for all of you who are fans of the two actors, who love science fiction films, who love space flight stuff, and for those who love amazing and spectacular views of the planet we live on.

In this film, Sandra Bullock becomes stranded in space and has to find within herself the will to make it home.

From imdb.com:
A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after a catastrophe destroys their shuttle and leaves them adrift in orbit.

This film stars Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, and Ed Harris. It was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, and written by him and Jonás Cuarón. It is rated PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language. The disturbing images are mainly some dead bodies shown in the first part of the film. The brief strong language also is mostly in the first part of the film. To see a full description of why it's rated PG-13, go to this link: Parents Guide
