At the turn of the year, I called Alfonso Cuaron‘s Gravity my most anticipated film of the year. Now while I wasn’t trying to hype it up, there was something alluring in the mystique of the film and I had great faith in Cuaron’s (Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien) weathered directorial hand.

Initially slated for a release date last year, the post production on this somewhat effects-driven film ended up keeping it in the stables for much longer than expected. Meanwhile, the world waited to see whether Cuaron would be able to deliver the epic we expect from him.

Anticipation is a funny thing. Sometimes the mere act of expectation can warp our reaction to the final product so I’m trying to remain as skeptical as possible. That’s why I won’t be watching this trailer even though I really, really want to.

You, on the other hand, ought to dig in and enjoy watching George Clooney and Sandra Bullock play around as endangered astronauts. Tell me how you think this one looks in the comments section.
