Gravity was that rare film that reminded me why movies must still be watched on a big screen in a darkened theater. Its straightforward story of a marooned astronaut is, on its own, nothing spectacular. The presentation of that story is what makes Gravity so memorable. The first ten minutes alone are a revelation, particularly when viewed in 3D. This is no glitzy, brash science fiction spectacle. It’s a movie grounded in realism (a few nitpicks notwithstanding) that still has a graceful dreamlike quality. I’ll probably be a little disappointed when I watch it again at home, but I’ll always have that memory of the breathless vertigo I experienced when I saw it the first time.
