 In 2013, visionary director Alfonso Caran brought a new movie to the big screen. A film that would further enhance 3D visuals and the IMAX experience after Avatar, setting an even newer standard going forward. A standard that has yet to be broken. I'm of course talking about gravity. Before I put on my fictitious space suit and really head out into this film, I want to shout out Anthony over on Patreon at patreon.com slash adamdosmovies who requested I review this film. He's a mithril member over there which means he gets to pick a movie I have to review and give him a shout out and man he picked a good one. I love gravity. I've seen it several times. This is like cakewalk. Thank you Anthony. Thank you for this this gift. If you like Roma, if you like children of men, if you like Harry Potter and the prisoner of Ascobon, they really have nothing at all in common nor do they with the film I'm talking about today. A Sandra Bullock vehicle called Gravity on the surface of nowhere because this movie takes place in space. It is a very straightforward gripping tale about a woman fighting for survival. It's a bottle episode. It's your classic ship and a bottle experience. How is she going to get out of an unwinnable situation? Her prison is space. She needs to get back to earth. Joining her on her misadventure is George Clooney briefly because although he has the wit and charm you come to expect from the Cloonster, things go awry pretty early on and this somewhat by the book Satellite Expedition goes south real quick. Debris takes out the satellite dish or debris if you say things like a dumbass forcing our heroine Ryan Stone to fight for her life. And that's the ballgame folks. A one hour and 30 minute edge of your seat ride and it truly was a ride if you saw this in theaters on a big iMac screen with those 3D glasses on. Shit was coming at you but not in the obnoxious spy kids 3D sort of way. It just felt like it was floating out there like you were in space with her with Ryan trying to survive. Now as I said on the surface this is a by the numbers affair. This is a straightforward survival adventure but there is more going on. There's more going on underneath and that's a story about Ryan herself and how she's reborn during this mission. She loses a daughter off camera we find out through dialogue through conversation and she's still grieving. She's trying to come to terms with that loss and because of this experience she's able to nest herself in cocoon and emerge a new person altogether and by the end of the film I am spoiling this it's been out for a long time now 10 years and by the end of this movie when she crashes down splashes in the water here she comes a new baby fresh out of the womb mother earth and her adventure lies ahead a new life new stories she still has the baggage of course but she's pure now she's she's innocent she's lived a full life she's survived and now she gets to go on and tell a new tale it's beautiful it's profound it's uh it's gravity. I talked about the story let's briefly talk about the visuals if you know Alfonso you know he doesn't like to screw around this guy knows what he's doing behind the lens of a camera his favorite thing I've noticed are the long shots the one takes that seemingly go on for an eternity there's several in this film where you have no idea how this guy is conducting it how this maestro is making this music but this camera's moving in and out underneath of our character and the camera takes you on this journey you feel like you're in one of those those seats that's moving around and it's kicking you and throwing you every which way it gets claustrophobic at time it gets tight because you feel like you're there with her living through this with her special effects are out of this world certainly off this planet space looks like space it's black it's got stars it's not a lot that has to be done but there is a cool ass satellite that gets destroyed she's thrown around like a rag doll scraping to get onto this thing if you have anxiety tread lightly this is not a movie that you should mess around with it's going to put your anxiety at a thousand percent by the time it's done that music that score is going to keep you at the edge of your seats constantly in your ears is getting stronger and faster and starting to turn myself on just thinking about it but uh it's not that type of movie this is very much an Alfonso vehicle and Sandra is right there for the ride and can we talk about Sandra Bullock for a second the every woman she's a charm she's a delight ever since I saw her riding in that bus in speed or stopping the hackers in the net or being miscongeniality or helping a young black football player she can do it all and she can even survive the cold grip of space itself so kudos to you Sandra and kudos to gravity this is a great movie I own it I love it but it is however one that should have been experienced on the big screen and I somehow hope it comes back because of the success of avatar 2 and the 3d experience I think hollywood's seeing that people will go out for event films still they love it they like the roller coaster experience bring gravity back unlike avatar though gravity's still pretty damn good at home even when you lose some of the spectacle and the 3d if you don't have that type of experience at home you still have a solid straightforward story and it's short and to the point and there is that depth to it so gravity easily rewatchable I have seen it several times highly recommended thanks again Anthony for requesting this video and you the viewer can do that as well if you head on over to patreon.com slash adam does movies thanks for watching subscribe if you haven't I post tons of movie reviews each and every week I mean not even just new trending shit we're doing gravity from 2013 we're going all in on this and hopefully I'll see you next time take care make sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't I post tons of movie reviews and rants each and every week would love to have you stick around maybe join me on patreon or youtube join via the join button plus other perks you can get if you're at the higher membership levels I'm a one-man operation I love what I do but uh you know time is money and there's not a lot of it going around on youtube these days I also started a second channel that's just comedy skit based stuff it's adam after dark there are two to four minutes ways for me to just be creative and have some fun it's loose it's it's wild it's sexy it's not sexy it's just me it's just me
