Review of Gravity (2013) by Brandon S — 28 Oct 2015

It's the kind of film that ten years ago would've been quite literally impossible, and in that we can only assume that it will remembered for all time as the masterpiece that it surely is. Alfonso Cuaron is a master class filmmaker, and this is his finest work to date.

I predict that this will go on to be the seminal moviegoing experience for the next generation of genius filmmakers.

Not since Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" has a film given me such a deep appreciation for the vastness of God's incredible universe. But never before has a space movie been quite this intimate and hopeful. It's a film that's ultimately about finding faith in the midst of tragedy and fear, and it sends you off, no pun intended, floating on hopefulness and sheer positivity.

This is an important film that most certainly deserves to talked about, studied, learned from, and, most importantly, remembered for all time. "Gravity" is the most important American film since P.T. Anderson's "There Will Be Blood".
