Patience is a virtue, but waiting fucking sucks.
It has been seven years since Alfonso Cuaron's CHILDREN OF MEN punched us in the babymaker (<see what i did there?) with a reminder of what great filmmaking can be, both in terms of engaging and intelligent story, as well as incredible technical execution. Since then there have been FOUR Fast and the Furious sequels!!!! And now ONE new Alfonso Cuaron film; GRAVITY. This isn't to rag on the new series giving Jason Voorhees a run for his money in the most sequels ever category. I honestly have nothing wrong with a dumb fun action romp that blitzes my brain for 90 exciting minutes, and there in lies the humorous comparison. That is exactly what GRAVITY is, 90 minutes of fun, exciting, dramatic, tense spectacle. This is his version of an action movie, a film more about the journey and theatrical experience than overall story, the difference is we had to wait seven years for it. The question is was it worth it?
It is the slow cooker verses the microwave. One takes half the time and is enjoyably edible, but the other is worth all the waiting, because it tastes a million times better.
In short......WORTH IT.
Fuck reviews just go see it!
