2. Gravity

(Director Alfonso Cuaron who made Children of Men, the plot, Cuaron and Cinematographer Lubezki's visual style and George Clooney also it is said that it has some groundbreaking visual effects very ahead of time like Avatar and i suppose Cuaron will add some one take scenes too which is his style)
