Is "Gravity" The "Best Space Film Ever"? Cameron Thinks So

"Avatar" and "Aliens" director James Cameron has high praise for Alfonso Cuarón's  new sci-fi buzz-worthy thriller "Gravity".


The film follows two astronauts (George Clooney and Sandra Bullock) left alive after an exploding satellite kills the other crew aboard their space station, setting off a desperate race home for the latter to get to her child.

Cameron tells Variety:

"I was stunned, absolutely floored. I think it’s the best space photography ever done, I think it’s the best space film ever done, and it’s the movie I’ve been hungry to see for an awful long time … What is interesting is the human dimension. Alfonso and Sandra working together to create an absolutely seamless portrayal of a woman fighting for her life in zero gravity. I think it’s really important for people in Hollywood to understand what was accomplished here … I’m sure Alfonso had a real uphill battle with the studio, with everyone involved, to get it the way it needed to look. But he knew in his mind how it needed to look, and he went after it."

Cuaron also co-wrote the script with his son Jonás

The film is scheduled for theatrical release on October 4th, 2013.

The intense full theatrical trailer has been released and may just bolster Cameron's opinion.
