Looks like Gravity is going to become a top favorite for the Oscar 2014 best film race, as the recent release of the movie hailed full theaters. The audience, as well as Academy Award members, sat tightly packed in the 100-seater Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, and showered a slew of praises for the film. "Gravity" stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in the lead roles and is a poignant tale of survival of a human being in space.

The film is directed by Alfonso Cuaron and has created enormous Oscar buzz since its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. What really cements the position of the film in the Academy Award race is its classic graphics. Created exclusively by five-time Oscar nominee Emmanuel Lubezki, the film is sure to win 'Best Cinematography' this time. According to the industry pundits, Lubezki should have won an award for his exceptional cinematography skills long before, however he kept on losing for one reason or the other.

Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock has once again (she was greatly appreciated for her work in 'The Blind Side') impressed the critics with her role of an isolated astronaut in the film. The reviewers have called the film a one woman show. According to LATimes , Sandra Bullock's role serves both her intellect and energy. Also, given the mental and physical demands of the shoot (long periods of isolation in a 9-foot-by-9-foot light box or hanging from 20 foot ceilings), Bullock's work here offers plenty of different ways to appeal to voters. Sandra Bullock is predicted to compete with Meryl Streep, Judi Dench and Cate Balnchett for the Best Actress Academy Award 2014 .

"Gravity" has not only worked at the critical level but its ingenious plot and dazzling 3D effects have impressed the masses.The film is the biggest debut for October and has already made $55.6 million at the box office.
