As many Oscar best picture nominated films, and winners, Gravity excels due to its technical aspect of the film. Where in other places it does not, it exceeds because of how visually stunning and memorizing the scenery is. High quality global journalism requires investment.

Starring Sandra Bullock, we see her as she gives us a calamity dame for a crisis, bravery battling adversity, hysteria and a fitfully firing backstory about a dead daughter.

Director and co-writer Alfonso Cuarón, a space novice self-launched after a career in terrestrial drama and fantasy, brings an innocent's freshness to the genre. The 3D is most brilliantly unnerving when most seemingly trivial. The weightless hazard-objects that float past our faces in cabins – a torch, fork, spanner – mimic and prefigure the bigger bric-a-brac to come. In the end we are witnessed to a more so predicable take but as it works for the best.
