The longer the take, it seems the more you get drawn into what is happening. When movies change angles frequently, something happens in my brain that says, "OK, reset. Where were we again?" Not with this movie, completely enveloped by it. Alfonso Cuaron (the director) won me over big time with this movie, and as much as I knew I wasn't going to like Gravity, I gave it a chance just because it was him who directed it. Gravity, had it's moments, but nowhere near Children of Men. Also, may want to catch his series "Believe" he's making.
