Finally, a 3D film to get excited about
There are two things you should know about Gravity, the new film from Alfonso Cuarón
(Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien) starring
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The first is that you should go and see it.
To put it simply, it’s really good: a 90 minute cascade of adrenaline – a
thriller made with tremendous care and attention to detail that is undoubtedly
one of the best films you’re likely to see all year.
The second thing to know is that you should see it in 3D,
and preferably in IMAX. I
have written previously about my opposition to how stereoscopy has been used in
recent years, but I genuinely think that Gravity is an absolute first: a film intended for mass release that
has been meticulously designed for 3D by a director who really knows how to use
it. Even Mark Kermode, the Commander-in-Chief of the anti-3D army, has been
forced to admit that “Gravity is worth seeing in 3D”.
