Gravity

So I always try to watch all the nominees for the Oscars, so I'll have a better chance at picking winner. Although last year, I only watched about 4 out of the 9, but ay. I at least watched the winner, and I loved that one. But this year, I've planned to watch 7 out of the 9. And as the title of this post informs you, I'm starting this Oscar party out with Gravity, because, well, it has the shortest playtime of them all. 

Gravity is about Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) who is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone- tethered to nothing but each other and spiralling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

This movie, as a lot of reviewers have said, is really scary. Not in a horror movie way, like the boogy man is gonna come after you. But in a "god I never want to go into space, it's too freaking big and I will surely die". Space is scary as frick, man. 

But yeah, if you like suspenseful movies with events that makes you realise how small and how big the universe is, then by all means go watch Gravity. My only regret about this movie, is that I never saw it in 3D, but then again, it would have made the whole thing 30x more creepy.

So, all in all I give Gravity;

4 out of 5 weird girls (and maybe even an Oscar for Best Movie?)
