*** Warning: This review contains spoilers!! ***
With its dramatic soundtrack, Gravity was certainly suspenseful, but mostly, it was a visual film.
Big words come to mind in describing this movie. Existential... Metaphorical... Sandra Bullock's character died a metaphorical death when her daughter died, but still she managed to cheat actual death. Given a second chance, she had a re-birth (complete with in utero imagery) in overcoming her daughter's death. Given new life - literally and figuratively - she physically takes her first steps on earth as a new person.
The images of people actually being "lost in space" - in more ways than one - was pretty unsettling.
