5. Style & Substance
Were soon going to discuss the absolutely mind-shattering aspects of Gravity from a technical level, but when you look past that and further examine the minimalistic story, you will find some carefully and brilliantly-executed spiritual and religious themes, with the most prominent being rebirth. It doesnt leap out at you from the trailers, but make no mistake about it, theres actually quite a bit of intriguing thematic content to chew on. The story is emotionally charged, and therefore one of the key factors in sucking the audience into Dr. Ryan Stone's (Sandra Bullock) plight, hoping for her survival.
