It's not to often that a movie can artfully utilize silence and nothingness (another polarizing example is Paranormal Activity 1); such applies to Gravity, a gripping thriller starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

the story is short and simple yet quite powerful. I won't spoil the movie (for my lack of knowledge of the plot raised my expectations), but it was a wise decision making the movie under 100 minutes leaving no room for unnecessary filler or fat.

From a standpoint of my eyes, the movie is a feast to look out, using gorgeous scenery and eye-popping visuals that gives the impression they shot this movie in space. The handful of scientific accuracies doesn't hurt either.

The acting is well done and realistically portrayed. Using real reactions in tense situations and some clever dialogue that slightly reveals the main characters, you stoop to their level when they are in turmoil, almost like your'e suffering or prevailing with them.

You will be very pleased, and very surprised, at what you see after the leave the theater after watching this incredible film. An obvious Oscar nominee/winner in the future and perhaps a film that filmmakers will study for years to come.
