One HELL of an adventure! I was positively enthralled by every electrifying second of it. My immersion in the intense action scenes made my palms start sweating profusely. Lubezki once again proves that he's the cherry on top of the cream of the crop of cinematographers. I blinked rarely and only reluctantly during his long takes. A masterpiece of staging and technical innovation, 'Gravity' is nothing short of sublime. And, luckily, plot spoiler Sandra Bullock only imitates a dog in one scene.

It's pretty solid. I don't know. After you've seen Leprechaun 4: In Space you kind of have high expectations.
19		djross	30 _13%
Space junk: undoubtedly a technological marvel, but nothing else about it is either interesting or good. Dialogue and monologues are poor; more fundamentally, it is about nothing, nothing whatsoever. All attempts at profundity are phoney, beginning with the writers' decision to give her a dead kid in order to try to confect some meaningless Hollywood meaningfulness. That it received near universal critical acclaim exposes the state of contemporary criticism (though Richard Brody got it right).

Let's just get this out of the way: the script is mediocre, the characters are just serviceable, and the movie isn't 100% accurate. Now ignore all of that, because it didn't affect my enjoyment in the slightest. This is a visual and emotional roller coaster ride; the spectacular cinematography justifies the use of CGI and 3D more than Avatar ever could. It's a jaw-dropping, breath-taking, awe-inspiring, applause-worthy masterpiece. And it's one of my favorite movie experiences of all time.

Alfonso Cuaron's space epic is narratively slight, but what it lacks in depth it more than makes up in terms of technical wizardry and spectacle. Cuaron's precise direction and Lubezki's series of long takes make it a space opera that is much like a outer space ballet. Sandra Bullock does surprisingly well carrying the film for 88 minutes and brings some much needed emotional heft to the story. Gravity is also the first film that I would say is essential to be seen in 3D.
11		ewp805	85 _85%
Gravity is an absolute technical triumph and nonstop thrill ride. It flows together brilliantly as Bullock floats from scene-to-scene, leaving us all jaw dropped as shit hits the fan again and again. Undoubtedly a great cinema experience, but its script is just poorly written. The two leads lack any real depth, and the monologues are a total cringe-fest. Characterization was best when Bullock was silent, either surviving in the face of physics or walking again on solid land.

(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)Would've died if the ending shot was the parachuting craft landing in a volcano followed by a lil steam puff(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)
11		FrederikA	90 _96%
Have no illusion; this is first and foremost a thrill ride and Coarón (aided by the always amazing Lubezki) utilizes every trick in the book with awe-inspiring results. Sure, the forced faith-based development of Bullock's character is somewhat heavy handed, but thats just a tiny bump on an otherwise truly enjoyable (and nerve-wracking) ride.
10		Suture Self	8 _81%
The audience's point of view integrates with the characters' point of view in a way that there are no interpretations. Long, fluid tracking shots bleed together with little interruption. There are several sequences in Gravity that are some of the best action-adventure scenes ever filmed. The dialogue is utter shit, but Sandra Bullock's great physical performance and the ending sequence--featuring a powerful visual metaphor for transfiguration--is enough to leave me emotionally fulfilled.
10		bowfinger	90 _94%
Movie magic at its best. Period. None of your whining arguments about the script, characters, and depth will matter, those all went out the window when the first wave of debris hit the audience in the face.
10		XakkMaster	93 _94%
A Space Odyssey for the gimme-now generation. Things get intense from the opening scene and never let up. What this lacks in the philosophical or spiritual depth of Kubrick's masterwork, it more than makes up for in overwhelming charisma & brute strength. The 3D theater experience is an immediate exploration of the senses; a visual & auditory technical phenomenon. With Sandra Bullock's intense performance & the masterful crafting, blocking & filming of pivotal scenes, it's an instant-classic.
10		cagedwisdom	100 _90%
Technically flawless; An absolutely beautiful film. All the more infuriating to see the immense potential squandered by the script. 90% of the dialog could simply be removed, improving the film and giving us the 2001 of the 21st century. Instead Cuaron serves up expositional dialog smeared thick across the canvas, like toast buttered to pieces, taking you out of the film every time someone opens their mouth. 2nd viewing: The good far outweighs the script issues for me now, so upping my score.
9		Leonardis	96 _91%
I found this to be one of the greatest movies of the year. Gravity is very well crafted and acted. The thing really knows how to be amazing and very emotional and sad and terrifying at times. Seemed pretty intense. Not really much wrong with it. Totally worth watching. And it's also very visual and hell if the thing isn't groundbreaking.
9		Tony Irwin	91 _87%
Five minutes into it I was ready to start applauding - it was just so clear that we were in for something epic - and fifteen minutes into it I was worried I was going to start screaming - it was just so tense. Along with Oz, it's the only movie I've seen that really knows how to use 3D (no light loss, no motion blur). Only 90 minutes long, and filled with long quiet scenes, the movie still has a powerful message about what it means to be human. If only Hollwood could turn these out every year.
8		fenixdown	89 _97%
A brilliant sci-fi film with a down to earth message.
7		SirStuckey	85 _87%
Visually it's about as great of a movie as you could want with our current capabilities in regards to film making. Hell even the 3D was good and I think 3D is usually a waste of time. Sound also amazing. Any problems I had with the story were dwarfed by the immense pleasure I got from every technical aspect of this film. A must see in the theater if you have any interest in seeing it at all.
7		juntakinte99	80 _65%
Not since 2001: A Space Odyssey has a film put so much almost documentarian thought into the mechanics of space travel. However, unlike what he did in Children of Men, Cuaron doesn't build on the world with a piece of drama that stays with you forever. The film is a ride--a well made and fun ride--but not something I've rewatched or thought about since first seeing.
7		dylanwilson6	90 _96%
I don't think anyone will be winning Oscars for acting or screenplay, but the setting and visual feel of this movie can stand above pretty much everything. This movie really gives you the sense of being basically left in space. Almost every second of this film is amazing. And nothing is more terrifying then seeing something getting destroyed and not hearing anything.
7		jodamico	87 _97%
This is the space movie I've been waiting the entire 21st century for someone to make.
7		Alex Watkins	4 _70%
Gravity demonstrates that there is, indeed, a god. And his name is Emmanuel Lubezki.
6		Gideon	1 _16%
Avatar all over again. What the actual f-ck is Miss Congeniality doing in space? Who hired her as an astronaut should be put to sleep. The most overrated piece of trash of 2013. I have no clue why this is getting rave reviews galore, quality severely is lacking and over the top idiotic. It feels very manipulative and everything that could go wrong actually goes wrong. Bullock is horribly miscast and annoys the sh-t out of me throughout. Gravity is a hollow 3D showcase of new CGI techniques.
6		Vdecraim	80 _73%
I fear for the 'Avatar-effect': when you watch it on your TV, and the film falls back on content and content alone, it becomes a ridiculous bore. But for now: let's just praise the craftsmanship of this breathtaking rollercoaster.

6		mrandersen10	75 _59%
As great as this movie is technically, it's let down by a mediocre script and weak human elements. It's annoyingly Hollywood in how it tugs at the heartstrings and claws at our tear ducts. The dialogue is at times unbearable--Clooney is especially guilty as he spits his witty lines while debris threatens to rip his body to shreds. It's the implausible character behavior and the one too many lucky breaks that nearly ruin the immersion for me. A visual and aural masterpiece but it's no 2001.

John Mayer starts playing
6		Charlie	90 _96%
Unbelievable! So vivid... I'm not sure if I was ever this captivated in a movie theater. And I'm not a big 3D fan, but in this case it works perfectly as part of the mood, just like the sound which is probably the best ever made. If you got the chance, watch it in an IMAX theater. It will blow your mind...
6		jthusky	93 _97%
It's not quite perfect, but it's the closest we'll ever get to a film that feels like a roller coaster. I was tense from the earliest moments, well before there was any hint of threat on-screen. Bullock plays a character who needs to force herself to live, a great thematic turn. Fantastic 3D, beautiful effects.
6		kevinjoseph	75 _88%
When your kid says he wants to be an astronaut when he grows up, show him this movie.
6		Kojiless	92 _95%
Ah, poor Ed Harris. Always the bridesmaid, never the guy that gets to actually go to into space.
6		terrymac	82 _89%
Taught, efficient, and made with real skill. Once you can accept the premise, this is compelling stuff with tremendous visual flair, and some genuinely tense moments. Bullock is likeable as usual. Not sure how it would hold up on a rewatch, but this is well worth a look. One of the few films I'd like to watch in 3D.
5		FunkyAstro	90 _93%
When someone sets out to make a space film on a Kubrickian level you better make damn sure every single detail is pinpoint accurate. Gravity was spot on to the point of insanity. Something tells me there's a screw loose in Cuaron's head and that's just the way I take my filmmakers. Even with its obvious nods to 2001 it was still missing the other half of an epic; the mind bending philosophical ride that accompanies outer space. Nevertheless, Gravity does exactly what cinema was intended to do.
5		d_r_e_s_	5 _98%
It's been a long time since I was this excited after being to the movie theater. Cuarón has really pulled off an extremely entertaining - story wise, breathtaking - cinematography wise, and exhausting - health wise, movie. The exhausting part is meant in the best way possible. Normally I wouldn't have much faith in Bullock, but I really enjoyed her in Gravity. I was on the edge of my seat for the most part of this movie, and left, wanting to see it again. Highly recommended. - Fantastic.
5		Weafdog	97 _99%
The most intense, exhilarating, cinematic experience of my life, bar none. Breathtaking in the truest sense of the word. I give it two sweaty palms up!
5		torbern	70 _36%
'Alone In Space: The Ride,' an ultimate, super-thrilling 3D experience, starring Sandra Bullock as 'Scared Astronaut' and George Clooney as Himself!
5		yoohoo	100 _99%
See this on the biggest screen you can and absolutely in 3D. This film is an experience; you don't merely watch it. You are literally there, floating around with the Clooney and Bullock. Cuaron and Lubezki have don't something in this movie never before seen. Avatar only wishes it were this good
5		Judge Holden	6 _81%
With one gasp-inducing sequence after another, Gravity might best be classified as a white-knuckled spectacle film. Amazing visuals and set pieces, all of which more than make up for some subpar dialogue and some repetitive action set pieces. Its theme is weighty enough to add substance to the "thrill ride" but never intrusive enough to interfere with the actual narrative. Visually and emotionally satisfying.
5		DavidBlast	95 _96%
If the classic Hollywood narrative is a mix of pauses and pertinent deadlines, 'Gravity' is a master class in balancing the two. It's a visual and audible triumph, leaving the cineaste scratching his head from the edge of his seat. It's a milestone in storytellng where 3D is finally legitimized and arguably mandatory. The plot is a clichéd lazy riff on '2001', but Cuarón isn't offering a character study. I guess we'll have to settle for one of the most intense thrill rides in cinematic history.
5		FrankHowley	90 _95%
Alfonso Cuaron's visual masterpiece is the kind of cinema I live for. Like Enter The Void and 2001: A Space Odyssey, it elevates the art form to a true experience, a gut-wrenching ride of terror and beauty. The 14 minute opening sequence shot starts tranquil and then evolves to an unbelievable nightmare with physical intensity. I was shaking and crying throughout. Traumatic and exhausting while equally genius and revolutionary, Gravity is a step-up for pure adrenaline filmmaking.
5		NorthSider	95 _96%
Gravity does to space what Jaws did to the water, and the parallels between these two films are uncanny. Like its counterpart from the 70s, Gravity is an almost unimaginable technical achievement. Cuaron has demonstrated to us how futile our previous use of 3D has been, it has redefined the environment of space, it has explored uncharted territories of sound design. It's a terrifyingly compelling film about the physics of space, despite its throw-away plot. This is a medium-defining film. Bravo.
5		myfavchords	87 _91%
This is a really exciting and thrilling film. Sandra Bullock gives an excellent performance in the film. The script is simple but also very effective. The special effects are top notch ant they are very well done. I highly recommend this movie.
4		o_rety	100 _98%
It works on so many levels. And I get it. All of it, the title included. The substance reaches deep and the style is magnificent. This kind of movies make me again a believer in a good cinema.
4		omgfridge	7 _65%
Stunning to look at and even more of an achievement is the fact that Sandra Bullock didn't totally ruin a movie for me.
4		Barthalen	78 _74%
Tense and atmospheric in the first half, but I was surprised to realise I was losing interest in Bullocks character past that point, making the final third rather annoyingly sentimental and repetitive. Also, I didn't see this in 3D. I'm sorry for doing it wrong.
4		TangVampire	93 _74%
This movie was stunning. I can't wait to learn more about the technical aspects that went into making this film because they were mind-blowing. It was so interesting to see two actors that aren't typecast for sci-fi type movies be in a film like this. I think they did a great job.
4		eCitizen	96 _99%
Sandra Bullock was very satisfying in this movie about the dangers of modern day space travel. George Clooney perhaps a little too cool. The action puts you on the edge of your seat many times with incredibly tense moments. The space debris cascade was convincing and a timely subject. I really enjoyed this film and plan to watch again soon. Excellent subject, acting, special effects, music, and sound. There were only a few scenes I would have changed, but overall it is an exceptional movie.
4		INDYATMN	99 _98%
CGI is commonplace & predictable. On exceedingly rare occasions however, audiences r presented w/ the kind of spectacular visuals & sound that create a "world" they can honestly say is like nothing they've ever seen before. On those occasions it doesn't matter how straightforward the story or characters are. On those occasions a viewer will likely feel like they're on an amazing ride rather than watching a movie, & wonder if this is how the very earliest film audiences felt seeing their 1st film
4		chemical404	60 _59%
It's actually about stressful life of an office worker. Hang on, Joe, you can make it! Well, it's not that bad really. This movie is effective at what it does: creates tension, then short relief, rinse, repeat. However all the hype led me to expect some more complex message. Fun fact: the average period of calmness in between "oh shit will she make it" scenes is on average 2 1/2 minutes long. UnFun fact: she does. Spoiler alert:)
4		bakcheia	85 _77%
This earns its merits mainly from its staggering visual prowess and its ability to be a wholly immersive experience. The film does a fantastic job of building an endless amount of tension, which is counterbalanced nicely by the serene atmosphere. Thus, at surface value, the film is great. The plot, pacing, music, and cinematography are all stellar. However, the dialogue was distractingly dumb and maudlin; it was only partially saved by Bullock's solid acting giving us some emotion to cling to.
4		bof	72 _64%
Incredible visuals and hair-whitening tension almost hide that the "learn to move on with life" plot was threadbare and preachy even before a million TV movies used it. Honestly, as beautifully simple as this movie keeps it, they could have made it even simpler. But hey, Bullock's character is a woman in an action movie, what other motivation could she possibly have but motherhood? But did I mention the visuals?
4		Calexico	90 _91%
Incredible. The visual magnificence, excellent soundtrack, and masterful storytelling combined to create one of the most intense cinema experiences of my life.
4		jkathrens	87 _91%
George Clooney is excellent at playing George Clooney -- he's had a lot of practice -- but it's Sandra Bullock who's the revelation here, displaying a lot more range than I'd ever given her credit for in the past. I have a few quibbles with dialogue and a small issue with one plot development. The main star, however, is the visual style. The suspense comes in waves and the tension rises into a breathtaking climax. One of the most beautiful and terrifying films I've seen.
4		Okkervil	87 _93%
An extraordinary technical masterpiece. I'd heard some complaints in regards to the script, but you'll be really nitpicky if in any way the script effects your enjoyment of 'Gravity'. The screenplay is more than strong enough to connect you to the characters & to bring genuine emotional weight to an incredible thrill ride. Visually it's almost indescribable; full of spectacle & detail. "Gravity" is one of most intense cinema experences you'll ever have.
4		ratedargh	100 _97%
Unlike anything I've seen. It's gripping, intense, and isolating. For a movie where the silence is so profound, it's amazing how well it generates the intensity. The sequence where Ryan is fixing part of a ship and the debris is returning , and she doesn't notice right away, is expertly handled. It's beautiful, haunting, and works as a metaphor for feeling lost and without direction in life. Phenomenal experience.
4		antidood1	90 _97%
The plot and the script of this movie are to be called minimalistic, and this movie delivers them perfectly on pretty much every level. Of course, the visuals is where this movie really excels. They are on a whole new level of amazing, eye-popping and stomach-turning than anything else I have ever seen in a movie. Cuarón's direction is amazing, the acting is fantastic and the sound design is scarily intense. And yes, the 3D actually made this movie better. An exceptional experience.
4		TjlMovFrks23	100 _96%
Simply a terrific achievement in cinema magic.its almost rare that a mainstream big budget movie nowadays could came out like "Gravity". perfectly decorated with a dazzling spectacular effects without lost of focus in fundamental human drama. Cuaron has thrived in brilliant storytelling without overshadowed by the technology and starpower of bullock and clooney. once again,it is a masterpiece out of mainstream cinema.
4		Pickpocket	2 _21%
It's nice to look at but has no story and the whole thing just feels so contrived. In other words, it's basically a high budget porno without any fucking. The subplots and pointless dialogue added absolutely nothing. It was almost like they were trying to get to 90 minutes in any way possible. Sandra Bullock is horrific once again, she takes you out of the film immediately. It's more unrealistic then when they cast her as a software engineer. 2013's most overpraised film by far.
4		CMonster	79 _65%
No depth, all...atmosphere.
4		Tjekhov	80 _86%
The most challenging cognitive experience a film has ever presented, 3d, the neverending dolly-shot, space, etc. Probably more of a rollercoaster ride than an actually emotional engaging film. The first film that I actually am glad to have seen in 3d - partly because I will never have the same experience again.
4		Superargo	98 _98%
"Awesome" is a descriptor that's oft-overused, but here's a movie that earns the term. It's searingly, terrifyingly, beautifully awesome. And visually astonishing. It's about the incomprehensible beauty and vastness of the universe and man's ultimate place in it--are we finally insigificant? are we smarter and more important than we realize? does it benefit us to continue our endless daily struggle against the universe to survive for another second? does it matter? Go see this movie.
4		filmfreak88	90 _96%
The occasionally clunky dialogue and slightly groan-worthy sob backstory notwithstanding, Gravity in IMAX 3D is 90 minutes of tense and terrifying cinematic bliss. Cuaron has blessed us with another ingeniously crafted technical and narrative marvel. And it's one of the very few films that totally deserves to be seen in 3D, a format I usually can't stand.
4		Ytadel	6 _69%
The technical aspects of the filmmaking - the long, long takes, the weightless gravity effects, the drifting camera that follows characters from extreme closeup to far background - are superlative. If the movie doesn't win technical Oscars, injustice has been done. The script is a bit more problematic. The dead kid backstory is hacky and adds nothing, and the (SPOILERS!) mirage Clooney scene near the end is terrible. Still, it's well-paced and keeps moving, and ends effectively.
4		Nathan S	3 _45%
A visceral spectacle of seamless fluidity and awesome scale. It's unfortunate that for all its aesthetic ambition, the script deals in easy and familiar emotional cues. Even so, the plot considers and ultimately capitalizes on powerful themes that overcome the hamfisted flaws of its text and arc. I'm not sure whether to commend or criticize Bullock and Clooney as typecasting or perfect choice, but either way their respective performances as the anxious underdog and the dry but wise wit are good.
4		Ric	95 _98%
Avatar brought 3D to the wide public's attention, but this is the movie that showed everyone what it can really bring to cinema. Absolutely stunning, from every point of view !
3		PerryStroika	69 _83%
I was disappointed in many ways, by the pulpy writing and dialogue, by some elementary errors in physics (getting inertia wrong is unforgivable), and the general talkiness, but thrilled by the film making. The use of long takes, the fluidity of the camera, the way it seamlessly flows from a closeup of the actor's face, and then diving into their head for a POV, is absolutely groundbreaking, the lack of an clear up/down orientation adds another element. A noble failure, a qualified success.
3		Bown	87 _84%
Well, god damn. Was Lubezki not content shooting the Earth more gracefully than anyone ever has before in The Tree of Life? Did he also have to go and master the heavens?
3		Obdurate	80 _66%
You definitely see this in a theatre because the visuals and cinematography are outstanding. Everything else about it is decent. There are some real hammy moments, but you come to this to see people lost in space, struggling, and it succeeds at that big time. Space/gravity (or lack of) is the best villain of all time, because some of it was just downright scary. With that said, I'm not feeling it on a personal level like some. It's still a great experience though. Just not quite a 90 for me.
3		TV+Film-Hub	33 _96%
Gravity is Apollo 13 with the production value of the Avengers and the epic fantasy quality of Lord of the Rings albeit with the intimate dramatic feel of a Cannes Film Festival winner.
3		lisa-	5 _70%
in order to get enough money to create a "groundbreaking cinematic experience" you have to make all aspects of your film conform to generic standards. still, it's a stunning cinema experience, and my rating represents that rather than the boring and mediocre rewatch on television.
3		Derek_	45 _87%
This is a pretty amazing film, and unlike anything else I've seen... Visually stunning indeed, and packs more of an emotional punch than I would have expected.
3		constantine	81 _80%
This is a kind of experience you can't have often. To call a movie a great piece of art, it doesn't have to be a perfect combination of a brilliant script, amazing performances and incredible techniques. Obviously not a great combination of these elements and yet Gravity is a GREAT piece of art. If you hold your breath as you were watching Ryan, if you felt like you were on a roller-coaster throughout whole movie, then you had experienced something remarkable. I'm just sad for others who didn't.
3		janus	90 _94%
No idea if it'll hold up on home video, but in the theater, in 3D, this movie turned me into fucking jelly. Critics are right to note its overdone music, factual errors, minimal depth, racism, and overall Hollywoodiness. But when the credits rolled and I found I was physically unable to stand up, I decided the film deserves praise and profit despite being, at its heart, the same old thing.
3		HeyDingo	33 _67%
I am extremely against 3D films. They always subtract or add nothing to the value of the film. That said, this film perfected 3D. I cannot stress how amazing 3D worked for this film. You really get the sense of fear as if your right there alongside them the entire film. Acting was great. Sound was EXTRAORDINARY. Visually, possibly the greatest film ever made. Every frame is masterful. My only issues.. Some dialogue felt uncharacteristic and unnecessary. Though it's fairly minimal. MUST SEE.
3		MJVmovieMan	90 _93%
Finally... something that audiences haven't seen before, at least not like this. A thrilling technical delivery from Alfonso Cuaron---his breathtaking 3D outerspace landscape is one of the most thrilling movie experiences of all time. Add in a power-packed performance from Sandra Bullock, some doses of Clooney humor, and a decent enough survival story that easily tears through 90 minutes of suspense, and you have the Oscar candidate to beat this year.
3		Shosanna	35 _56%
Gravity finally made me break my rule of never going to any 3D showings of anything ever. I watched it at home first, and immediately rushed to see it at a cinema that was still playing it. The experience didn't change my view on 3D as a whole; I still think it's a pretty pointless gimmick. However, if there's one film where using that gimmick is sort of justified, this would be it. Gravity lets you immerse yourself in an environment most of us will never get to experience in reality. (3.5/5)
3		hellboy76	72 _86%
A technological marvel to be sure. It's sum is greater than it's parts as it does quite successfully envelop one in isolation as they watch. The sometimes hokey dialogue and close call after close call can be forgiven, if one allows the pleasure of simply being entertained. Lighten up Francis.
3		spleen	74 _52%
I couldn't help but laugh out loud thinking that we crash landed on the Planet of the Apes.
3		CarsonWid	85 _94%
The technology and the mood is what makes it enjoyable, the journey and theme is what makes this a great movie though
3		patman	87 _97%
A dark and intense, but also an overwhelmingly thrilling experience as we follow Dr. Stone through a visually majestic space journey. A mother who has lost her daughter, experiences an astronauts worst nightmare, and are about to come to terms with the fear of her own death. But her partner in space, Matt (G. Clooney) changes her, and she does what she can to be given a second chance at life.
3		Duco	85 _87%
Wow! Finally, in this spree of comic sci-fi movies, a diamond emerges. Despite being sceptical about Clooney & Bullock, they both perform adequatelly in this movie. The CGI work is just tremendous and the movie never loses any tension. What I loved the most, however, was the feeling of solitude and insignificance the movie laid upon me. I was so happy and glad that we landed back on Earth at the end of it. Truly, a depiction of space and emptiness in all its cosmic glory it deserves.
3		Difontaine	92 _98%
So you think your day was bad - In Spaaaacccee! Joking aside, this is a terrific thrill ride, fully using 3D throughout. Hats off to Sandra Bullock for carrying most of the film alone. Please try and see this on the big screen.
3		Derekstar	100 _96%
Amazing. Amazing amazing amazing. Easily, this movie contains the best space sequences ever filmed. It's incredible. When leaving the theater, I had the feeling that I had seen something monumental, and I instantly wanted to watch it again. I have absolutely no doubt that this will be the best movie we'll see this year.
3		Cinema_Asia	75 _71%
Oddly similar feel at times to Wolfgang Peterson's Das Boot. A space disaster/survival movie with Sandra Bullock's sweet ass in 3d sort of sells itself but Cuaron uses suspense and technology to build this up into something more. The feminist commentary and other soap box agendas are also refreshingly kept to a minimum. The film wisely reins Clooney in a little but he still looks pretty goofy floating around in a space suit with his usual Clooney banter.
3		Roberta	95 _99%
Wonderful use of the space to treat our loneliness in the universe and also our beauty and resilience. A must-see. Bullock in her best role.
3		EbelC	90 _97%
Amazing experience! If they tell me sometimes they took all the air from the theatre I would believe it, because that was how it felt. I did need oxygen and I did need to grab things to feel secure, connected.
3		GordonBombay	95 _98%
Space sucks!!!
3		Jerky	85 _98%
Visually stunning, claustrophobic, engaging, powerful, nerve wracking, heart pounding. A crowning achievement in film making, this has everything you could ask for in a space thriller. My only gripe is that I didn't experience it in IMAX 3D.
3		svnhf	89 _90%
This is intense! You shouldn't think that with only two actors on screen at any given time, barely any sound effects and only a bit of music. But it works so well because it really draws you into the characters; the simplicity makes it all the more real and genuine. The dialogue might be a bit hammy but that is easily enhanced by the atmosphere and the brilliant camera-work. Gravity is a thrill-ride, it really pushes your heart to your throat and grips you. Plus, it is stunning to look at.
3		misterlizard	95 _98%
No depth, no soul-searching. This is just dramatic things happening in space. And I'm fine with that. If I wanted long-form character-driven drama I'd be watching HBO. This is intense thrills delivered through a big screen. In an era where we all marathon TV shows for our narrative fix, this is the first film to acknowledge why we go to the movies. It's a breathtaking suspension of belief that makes the big-screen experience worthwhile.

"Gravity" is like many other blockbusters in several respects. It is light on story, simplistic in its characterizations and fairly predictable in plot. However, it is head and shoulders above any other (non-Nolan) blockbuster in terms of execution for the better part of a decade. It is a feat of technical wizardry, perfectly controlled tension and is easily one of the most thrilling theater experiences that I have ever had. I'm not usually the one white-knuckled in the theater, but here...
3		Syntheseizur	89 _91%
A singular achievement. It alternates between visceral, explosive action and majestic calmness, constantly tightening and releasing. The audience feels it all, and it's literally breathtaking. Some may call it one-note but its power is in its simplicity, the ability to depict the absolute vastness of earth against the endless void of space. It is simply one of the standout films of this generation.

A few holes and scientific inaccuracies bothered a bit, but cinematically it's a masterpiece.
3		AFlickering	2 _19%
the silence of space (barely on show here thanks to zimmer, contrary to the opening subtitle) is the silence of God, and those who retain their faith shall be accepted into heaven. GRAVITY aspires toward religious portent with images of creation/destruction & buddha statues, prattling about prayer etc. alas, it's less kubrick/tark than LIFE OF PI in space; an eyecatching lifeboat survival story-meets-despairing delusion contrived to provide a lost lamb with an epiphany about yolo and stuff.

i don't know how it did but this movie deserved at least tier 8 for me.. it looks like mr. cuaron could manage to do what danny boyle could not; gravity is actually a lot more than what 127 hours wanted to be. perfectly directed and totally captivating.

A masterpiece! It's like a visual Fifth of Beethoven or other masterpiece which grabs you and doesn't let go.
3		Ross	92 _97%
Amazing! The effects are absolutely beautiful and for once the 3D actually feels important. The film is a well acted thrill ride through an insane array of difficulties. At times I almost felt too caught up in the film and afterwards I was kind of exhausted after 90 minutes of having a very high pulse.
3		annaud	90 _97%
Awesome!!
3		bojanpopic	89 _85%
Good movie that keeps you glued to the screen whole 90 minutes but only if watched in the cinema since the 3D in the good theatre is really playing a big role. Just keep in mind to leave the science at the doors and you'll be entertained properly.
2		Quimbo	92 _97%
Unreal. I've never been more on edge throughout the entirety of a movie.
2		forehead1	60 _70%
If studios wanna get us back into cinemas then this is the type of film they should be making. The story's nothing special, full of '"As if" moments, and is pretty much just an extended 'spacewalk bit' seen in many sci-fis (for some reason SpaceCamp was the one that kept popping into my head), but visually it's fantastic - the spectacle of sitting in front of the big screen, seeing the Earth below, feeling the depth 3D allows, makes the experience worth the money. Would be even better in IMAX.
2		Mapplethorpe	10 _98%
A masterpiece in tension, atmosphere, cinematography, and direction.
2		dwyer	92 _96%
This is a movie that needs to be seen on the largest screen possible, and although I am a hater of 3D movies, it should be seen in 3D. I do not think that I have seen this movie's equal in technical accomplishment. The way it looks, sounds, and even feels is an amazing thing, and if the story is something less than a creative landmark, it can certainly be forgiven because while the destination is not exciting, the ride there is unforgettable.
2		chadisdanger	86 _87%
Amazing visual spectacle. Cuaron carries over his spectacular control of sound and image from "Children of Men"; technically speaking this is a near flawless piece of work, both visually gorgeous and nerve-wrackingly suspenseful. It unfortunately falters in the screenplay, which adds some awkward backstory that distracts a bit too much from the main survival narrative and is guilty of a few dialogue cliches too many. Nevertheless, this is a pretty fantastic thriller. Also: best ever use of 3D?
2		evrana	81 _75%
I'm sorry that I missed it on cinema; in 3D I'm sure the Gravity of the situation weighed on the audience even more. It is a difficult story to pull off; but with all the eye candy and with a bit of exaggerated tension it gets there. But above it all, it is a different cinematic experience; a story that utilizes all the tools of cinema to their full.

2		joel-w-m	8 _80%
The zero gravity action sequences here are well-crafted and breathtakingly terrifying, accentuated by Bullock's great turn as the desperate (albeit shallow) protagonist, complimented nicely by Clooney's typical jovial banter, and made into cinematic excellence with the help of amazing visuals, a tense score smartly edited, and probing camerawork that skillfully captures the claustrophobic anxiety of the film's space catastrophe plot as well as its beautiful setting.
2		SinnerMa	40 _11%
What you end up with when there's a lot of money but nothing else. Visually 10/10 that's the "40". See it on as big a screen with as high a quality as possible. But, aside from some tense must grab that anchor point bits all else is a grade A fail. Having big name actors was a distraction esp as the characters were completely unengaging. The incessant and GRATING musical soundtrack had me actually saying "shut it" toward the end. The movie that fell to Earth with a flat splat. Vapid.
2		Goldbluming	60 _18%
Gravity is an imitation of a great movie. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are atrocious and the screen writing is simplistic perpetual false crisis bullshit. The cinematography and computer graphics are incredible though.

This is a cool film that has great special effects. I can recommend this film.
2		guy piranha	80 _89%
this is rather a theme park ride than a movie. its visuals propel you straight into the stratosphere, only to pull you back by the weight of bullock's ultimately annoying screen presence. her character's got to be the clumsiest and inept person ever sent into space. drama has to come from somewhere, but here it's mostly face-palm moments. i could let go of them easily enough, because the movie is just so damn fucking beautiful to behold, but she always got me back out of it when least expected.
2		damil	75 _81%
Technically, it's pretty fantastic. The visual style is seriously impressive. It's been described as tense & thrilling but I didn't always feel that - I knew what the ending would be. I didn't care about the characters at all. They were bland & without depth & when I'm supposed to care whether they live or die, that's a problem. Bullock wasn't awful but she wasn't anything amazing either. The dialogue ranged from average to bad. Its strengths are probably strong enough to ignore its weaknesses.

Why didn't they spend 5 or 10 minutes to introduce the character(s) so I could get some kind of emotional bond with them? It took me such a long time to get rid of the distraction of seeing them not as Bullock and Clooney but as real astronauts. It was only half way I got to really appreciate the marvel this film actually is. It is visually stunning and something you must see on a big screen.

Gravity may be a beautiful movie, visually but lacks just about everything else. This is the most formulaic, overrated film I can think of in recent times. I could tell you everything I hate about this movie but that would easily surpass the given character limit. All I can give you is a quote from the movie that Sandra Bullock says. "Woof woof dog"
2		udippuy	55 _9%
Gravity completely fails to inspire any sense of awe and wonder for space, reduced to a playground for the kids of the post MTV generation. The plot in itself is close to non existent, as the whole movie is basically a 90 minutes long action sequence based on mock physics. The most awe inspiring aspect of the void, its silence and stillness, is constantly negated by silly dialogues and music and what looks like a space traffic congestion. Horror vacui.
2		leekenn	93 _97%
I was so, so impressed by Gravity. By using the power of todays CGI technology to bring to convincing, startling life something that could actually happen, rather than just making another popcorn flick out of a superhero franchise, this film has hopefully changed the game. It is so much more powerful because it focuses your attention on that which makes it feel real, not that which makes it look cool.
2		thegreyfox	40 _12%
aka "Weightless in She-uutle" proves that however visually stunning a film is, if the script is written by a 5yr old boy it is unlikely to be worth spending 90 minutes of your life on, and this nonsense is no exception. It's simply appalling; Trite, absurd and annoying. What a terrible waste of brilliant visuals. Gravity's simply a vehicle for current 3D computer graphics; Cuaron forgets that in order to care, a decent story is vital. "Apollo 13 for Dummies" & SB reprising her role in "Speed"

2		PetrosTser	50 _19%
Some impressive imagery and a few thrilling sequences aside, this is slow and surprisingly melodramatic. Bring your handkerchiefs along with your 3D glasses (although, as usual, the 3D is no big deal - better save a few quid) and beware of falling particles of "cheese". A disappointment.
2		RubAndDug	46 _19%
Technically well-done. Even the 3D, which nevertheless remains an unnecessary commercial gimmick. Basically, an indie echo of Avatar; Over-the-top symbolism flying off the screen through dumb characters, silly writing and unimaginative use of space. Literally. Praise-worthy for getting any praise at all. An empty trick trying to con us into believing Bollocks can act and isn't actually just a teenage boy, in need of a beating. Points for exterior visuals only. Otherwise, flat as Bollocks' ass.
2		EntertainMe	95 _98%
If I was to rate movies strictly by how engrossing they are, this would be one of the best I've ever seen. Between the acting, cinematography, lean scripting and relentless pacing there really isn't anything to stop the viewer staring at the screen with their mouth slightly open. The digital effects and environments are incredibly convincing, and the immersive factor is further deepened by the almost unbearably long shot lengths. This movie demands attention and continually exudes humanity.
2		bjn	85 _87%
Extremely immersive
2		hakkanarejo	75 _17%
George Clooney barely makes a cameo in the movie and basically for 90 minutes we watch Sandra Bullock gasp for air and cry. I actually love George and Sandra but this was just painful. Thank God it was a short movie, that is the only positive I can give it. This is my first review and I basically wanted to save people by giving another point of view. I wish I had waited to see fan reviews. A few people actually booed at the end, that pretty much sums it up
2		doughbaron	80 _80%
The fact that dozens of technical and character-driven flaws didn't make this film any less mesmerizing is a true testament to the spectacular talent and dedication that went into its production.
2		burkayadalig	72 _45%
It's so frustrating when you expect to see a masterpiece but you end up with an average movie. Dialogues and Bullock's monologues are simply unbearable, characters are totally incoherent and the dramatic depth is at the level of earth which is kilometers below... However it's visually mindblowing, a must see for everyone who are curious about how it feels like to be up there in space

This is one small misstep for Cuarón regarding characters and dialogue, but one giant leap for manchilds regarding visual film-magic. Preview: #14#, hype!, story, ratings!, creator Cuarón!/3, (cast).
2		Wezzo	95 _93%
As awe-inspiring as I'd imagined, as immersive as I could ever have anticipated. A mind-blowing moviegoing experience, and the only good use of 3D I've seen. The stunning camerawork, the astounding effects: you feel like you're there, and never has that mattered more. Bullock's performance is great, the score is beautiful, and the intensity of the simple plot lets up not once. Fall-down brilliant.
2		grimsooth	96 _99%
Wow, maybe this just hits me because I always wanted to be an astronaut but this is one of the best "Man vs. Nature" movies I've ever seen. I watched it on my home TV, and wouldn't mind seeing it again in a theater for obvious reasons. It's got a fair amount of "Man vs. Himself". It's one of the best movies I've ever seen andI doubt it has much rewatch value. But what a great ride.
2		darkman	92 _99%

What a technical achievement. The spectacle is Kubrick-worthy and the thrilling suspense is as effective as peak-operating Spielberg but the emotional tugging in the final third is unfortunately distracting and even frustrating.
2		lumpnboy	40 _35%
I expected a more stripped back narrative than this ultimately provides, since, from conformity or cowardice or both, it lets itself include more 'character' and 'back story' than such minimalism would have permitted, framing it all in dull, reassuringly familiar ways. For a contrast which doesn't veer toward saturating a seemingly 'simple', direct narrative in a sensibility almost like bad TV drama, thus ultimately recreating a much worse version of 'simple', see Bresson's A MAN ESCAPED (1956).

No doubt, this is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen and one of the most thrilling. The first 20 minutes are without comparison the best cinematic built-up in years, and Sandra Bullock gives a heart gripping performance. Unfortunately, Cuarón's use of 3D sometimes takes you out of the marvelous make-belief he's created, and the second half of the film isn't as powerful as the first.

Finally found time to watch this most talked about 3D sci-fi adv. pic. And just as I feared... it is not even close to be an awesome pic, it is more your average sunday matinee. The problematic main reason to this is - it is not working on your television screen or for that matter on my 135 inch 7.1 home-theater. This movie got rave reviews and great word-of-mouth cause of the 3D effect and sound experience that you'll get from the great multiplex theaters - oscar best pic nominee R U FOR REAL?

2		Zio	100 _94%
Much like Children of Men for sci-fi, Cuaron redefines what is possible in the thriller genre. In his leanest, tightest film to date, he manages to create one of the most physically draining movies ever using amazing set pieces, a fantastic score, and an Oscar-worthy performance from Bullock. Utilizing the medium to its fullest, very few movies (if any) surpass Gravity in its technical feats. To say the film is stunning is an understatement. Space has never looked this good.
2		TDKR	96 _97%
Great survival story like never before and this one is even more powerful and bigger than we have seen on the big screen for over decades. It's the worst situation we could ever be in and Sandra excells in this character and the director produces one very strong movie in every department.

A simple but emotive story. Visually stunning, the camera creates an incredible sense of motion, without ever feeling rushed.
2		PeaceAnarchy	82 _67%
Captures isolation and desperation quite well, and it has some very beautiful shots. I did grow a little tired of Bullock's character as the film went on, though, and the film's flow feels unnatural and too focused on creating and overcoming peril. The events feel obstacles to overcome rather than happenstance. The musical cue at the end reinforces the lack of trust in the audience and the imposing nature is worth deducting a few points from my score.
2		TheEscapist	80 _88%
Superb filmmaking. Enthralling, intense and beautiful film. The atmosphere is great, the silences are deafening, the soundtrack and visuals are beautiful, the acting is pretty great. The biggest downside for me is the fact that this film is mostly a thrill ride. Which is fine on itself but it leaves less room for philosophical depth. There is emotional and thematic depth to be found though, and those really hit me, I really enjoyed the ending and the symbolism. Highly recommended.
2		m3tan	55 _55%
Seriously overrated. In no way compares to 2001. Science was flawed too. A bunch of science flunkies (movie critics) should not comment on realism and technical accuracy. Also Sandra Bullock is annoying as usual - I was actually rooting for her lander to burn up on reentry...

The most awesome film I've ever seen in the IMAX theatre in 3-D. It's an amazing film, but at least a third of its allure is rather dependent on technology which most of us don't have in our homes. Still a great film.

I was having a run of bad movies lately but this one has restored my faith. I am not one to get anxious when watching a film but this one did exactly what it set out to do. Nail biting from start to finish with effects literally out of this world. Simple no fuss story. Don't dismiss it if you aren't a fan of space films and don't do it an injustice by watching it in anything less than HD on the biggest screen you can find.

2		WulfstanLee	90 _83%
An amazing film. There's not much more that can be said about the brilliance of the camera work. Bullock gives an incredible performance here, and Clooney was great too. I thought the imagery in here was inspired, not just all the space shots but the motifs of wires/leashes/cords and then of enclosure. I wonder if another ending would have been more impactful, though, as what we had in the film didn't mesh as well with the character's arc as it could have. But that's just a minor trifle.
2		mkellins	40 _21%
It's really sad how many people seem to think that the pretty pictures make up for the lack of content in this film. There really is no plot. The characters have no personality. Bullock's "background story" is just uninspired and Clooney should have no business playing an astronaut.

2		Anomaly	90 _94%
Grand spectacle with an archetypal but effective story that relies on the terror of absolute emptiness. It's been a while since Cuarón made a film, and the wait was worth it. Even in his hands, though, I'm still not convinced about 3D, but the theater experience certainly adds to this.
2		OllieTT	85 _84%
A marvelous cinematic experience. Shallow, yet worth seeing in 3D. What irony!
2		Trooth	85 _91%
This is about the best you can hope for out of a movie with such a simple plot. There are lots of long continuous tracking shots, or maybe just scenes that are really seamlessly edited. The effects are so great, and so many of the shots are so beautiful, they make it hard to notice things like that. If anyone is reading this review after the 2014 oscars, this movie better have won the award for best visual effects. If not, I'm coming to the future to complain.
2		frederic_g54	8 _77%
(after repeat viewings) The film's heavy-handed meditation on spiritual rebirth doesn't match up to its masterful orchestration but as a pure cinematic experience, "Gravity" carries the viewer along for an unforgettable ride, elevating a classic narrative formula to pulse-pounding new heights. Unless you're an Inuit fisherman camping on the ice over a frozen fjord, I suggest seeing this on the biggest screen you can find.
2		TheRealJ-Ro	70 _42%
While there are brilliant technical aspects to this movie -- so much so that the weaker-stomached among us may have a problem getting through certain scenes -- and while I completely agree that, if there is such a thing as a "theatre movie", this is definitely it, I can't appreciate the hype quite as much as others. Clooney's "Danny Ocean in space" method didn't work for me (show some dread, dammit!), Bullock was excellent, but a fairly simple story kinda works against it. Good, but not great.
2		amazedemon	65 _61%
Gravity is undeniably visually and cinematically impressive. Unfortunately, like much of Cuarón's work, I found the characters bland and tiresome. Although there are moments of suspense and excitement, much of the film is spent watching a single person whine, flail and pontificate in space; and it just didn't do it for me. Also the credits are an eighth of the runtime, which is a personal pet peeve.
2		wildflower	95 _96%
As a movie experience I rate this high. I was at the edge of my seat most of the time. I thought the trailer looked unappealing yet was pleased after watching. The personal growth story underlying the improbable action scenes is what got to me. Altogether, this was a visually stimulating and heart pumping movie. I also love Sandra Bullock, so that probably helped.
2		theshmo	90 _88%
Cuaron has done it again! His films are beautifully shot. I instantly had an uneasy feeling due to the ominous knowledge of what was to come.This feeling then transitioned to both fear and exhilaration as Clooney and Bullock fight to survive. When the lights came up I was still clutching my seat with sweat on my brow. Seeing this in IMAX 3D is a must. I can only hope this film is shown in theaters for years to come so I can relive that experience. What a rush!

While the majority of the effective dialogue is simply Bullock breathing hard, it is difficult to overlook the stunning visuals that Gravity brings.

I've had very few theater-going experiences quite as breathtaking as seeing this on the big screen for the first time. It obviously isn't perfect, but between the long shots and the perfect effects work, Gravity is one we're still going to be talking about for a long time to come.
2		wayofthegun	90 _89%
Gravity is one of those suspense/thrillers that grabs you from the start and never lets go. Clooney is perfect as the cocksure mission commander; however, I don't get all of the critical attention for Bullock. The role itself is nothing special and could be played as well or better by one of a dozen other actresses. Technically, Gravity is probably one of the best films ever made.
2		synthono	97 _98%

Sappy Hollywood melodrama with a few nice outer space effects. Doesn't even come close to living up to the hype.

cuaron brings his A game in this one. the movie flows impeccably, the sparse editing, the pacing and the breathtaking cinematography all meld together in a terrific thriller. the only downside is the cheesy dialogue and the forced tear jerking moments. in an effort to humanize the characters, the movies takes a definitive hit, but all in all, it's still a great experience.
2		lovejoy	83 _91%
This score probably would have been a lot lower if I had a. Seen it in 2D and b. Not heard it in Dolby Atmos. It's one of those films that truly shows off what a good cinema, a great presentation and a film that opens up the void between how a good cinema can completely immerse you in a film and what even the best in home cinema is capable of today. Cinema needs more films like this.
2		zae	87 _92%
Visually, it's one of the best films ever made, and certainly the best 3D film. Writing and dialogue is weak, but it doesn't matter. If anything, Cuarón should've kept the plot and dialogue even more minimalistic and just let the visuals speak for themselves.
2		InvaderJimz	90 _86%
A minimalistic survival horror which people have mistaken as an underwritten sci-fi. The direction is absolutely beautiful, the special effects are out of this world (heh), and Sandra Bullock's performance here is perfect for her anguished character. Full of symbolism that is subtle and not-so-subtle, the film serves an metaphor for something universal in every person on the planet: the will to live. Gravity doesn't need complex characterization for a theme appealing to the primal.
2		raven77	3 _31%
The movie had amazing cinematography and the music was good. However, the plot was outright silly and strained credulity. It's a good popcorn-flick, a perfectly serviceable action movie, but don't go in expecting more than that, or you will be as sorely disappointed as I was. For a movie that won seven Oscars, I was expecting a little bit more depth.
1		backwardsuit	70 _48%
Some truly amazing visuals and the sound is used to brilliant effect. The story however is pure cheese. Sandra Bullock is charismatic enough but doesn't quite have the weight to carry this kind of stuff. George Clooney is just George Clooney. Great as a cinematic experience (first time I kinda liked the 3d effect in a movie) but probably doesn't work on the small screen.

Visually stunning and it makes you feel like you are in space, but that doesn't mean that the story can just be mediocre. Why can't we have both? I mean it's better than similar films IMO like Life of Pi and The Tree of Life, but it's lack of a great story really holds it back for me.

Better described as an experience than a movie. Nearly every decision the director makes it done to put you in the position of being adrift in space. And in that regard, it's wildly successful. I didn't love some of the back story we got, but I realize it was kind of important to set up a pivotal later scene. Make sure you see this in 3D (and IMAX 3D if possible).

Stunning technically, and it has a good thematic heart but it's maybe a little too overt with the themes - something about the setting makes even otherwise subtle points feel a little more obvious. Sandra Bullock is great though, and I won't hear any of that negative bullshit about her from anyone who hasn't seen this (not that I was anti-Bullock before now anyway) and the pacing of the film is great - dialogue naturally pushing everything forward while remaining exciting. I wish it was longer!

Gravity is a gripping, often frightening story--as simple and as complex as a well-worn fable. Distilled in this straightforward narrative (two people try to survive the most hostile environs imaginable) we see life distilled to its most essential pieces: adversity, hope, grief, courage, faith. It is a harrowing spaceship-themed roller-coaster ride of a movie, and it's not without its content concerns. But in the end, we get out of our pods feeling inspired, encouraged.

The visuals are incredible, the most realistic depiction of space ever put on film. And that's really all you need to know about the movie. Now, the letdown. I wanted Y tu mamá también en espacio. What I got, though, was Escape From Space: The Movie. Which isn't a bad thing. Bullock gives the best performance of her career (paper-thin character, though), Clooney is capable as ever, and the metaphors are way too heavy-handed. But the visuals...I was really high, though...

Gravity is a technical and visual landmark in cinema. Movie is beautiful, and makes space look more intriguing than it already is. That being said, you'll often find it to be quite absurd with how many loop holes it jumps to satisfy it's arch. It has the Hollywood flair to it, and it can kinda plays up to it when it could've been so much more than a slightly above average Sc-Fi flick. Aside from pretty solid cast, there just isn't a whole lot here memorable outside of it's cinematogra

Spectacular and full of excitement. At the end you feel like how fragile is life in space and how it feels great to be on the earth! The irony in this film is that if it really happens in space you definitely will not survive but on the other hand, it's almost impossible that a catastrophe like this happens in earth's orbits. Must be watched in 3d.

What more can I really say about Gravity that hasn't already been said. Director Alfonso Cuaron has given us a masterpiece of film making. One of the coolest things about it is the long takes with few cuts; Cuaron is a master of the art of the continuous shot. The plot is strong, and the acting from Bullock and Clooney is fantastic as well. The visual effects are some of the best I've ever seen in a movie. It won 7 Oscars (including Best Director for Cuaron) and deserved all of them. MUST SEE!

Could also have been called "Murphy's Law" or possibly "Well, if it's not one thing ..." Also, I must have confused this with Interstellar because I kept waiting for aliens that never showed up. But anyway, it starts out as an intelligent and suspenseful movie about one woman's fight against the environment (or in this case, lack thereof) but in the last third it kinda drops the ball and goes all ham-fisted with the "no more driving, come home".

The science of the sci-fi movie is a little tough too swallow to make this truly epic for this sci-fi geek, still a very good film though.

Gravity is a cinematic experience like no other and it's a visual and technical triumph. Alfonso Cuarón's craft is truly masterful and from the opening shot to the last, it's an absolutely stunning and overwhelming experience. Every single shot feels thoroughly premeditated and perfectly executed. The sense of isolation is terrifying and the intensity is like no other cinematic experience I've ever witnessed. And Sandra Bullock is superb and her performance is just as integral as the visuals.

For such a simple story, this was a well-executed film and included the best use of 3-D I've seen. Sandra Bullock, acting almost alone, performed convincingly and should be nominated for some awards.

1		caiman	93 _96%
Couron avoids structuring this in the typical by-the-numbers way (ala Apollo 13) in order to make a lean, precise, intense ride. And it's technically masterful; the planning and orchestration that went into it must have been extraordinarily in depth. And it's thematically dense, despite its short running time. The embryonic/birth imagery was pretty cool and fit nicely with Bullock's character's spiritual awakening of sorts. I really can't think of a single thing I dislike about this movie.

A veritable visual feast, sadly let down by a poor script, "Gravity" shows audiences exactly what can be achieved with 3D (something I'd until now considered a gimmick). Oddly, I found myself wanting Clooney to have more screen time, possibly due to Bullock not being strong enough to shoulder the film alone. For true, well-delivered deep-space fear, I'd stick to "Apollo 13".
1		Danilolopes	65 _25%
OK, absence of gravity, Space, Sun... all those elements are already meditatives itselfs and the central idea it`s... ok. But after the first act, Cuaron realises that he needed some outside elements to keep audience connected. That`s the point when you see how heavy his hand is. Poor... poor dialogues and easy silly cry-baby scapes for the main character. Another blah blah blah movie at the end.

Oh, it's tragic that I can't give this film a perfect score, because on a technical level it absolutely is. Visually, it's unlike anything anyone has seen before; it's awe-inspiring in every sense of the word. It's such a shame that the emotional core of the film is only a tiny shaving of what's required. It looks unbelievable, but the tension melts when you realize there's still half a movie left. I will be telling everyone I know to see it in 3D right now, but not for its emotional impact.
1		Moribunny	58 _48%
It stumbles into trappings of the thriller genre such as a ridiculous overabundance of close calls in the action scenes, and its stabs at philosophy are hogwash. Bullock is sympathetic, but Clooney's cool-mindedness is blatantly fake, and the dialogue is wobbly. Still, none of the substance is as bad as I'd expected, it's decidedly less cheesy than most sci-fi, and the technical aspects are pleasing as predicted. It's enjoyable, and I wouldn't keep anyone from watching it.

Impressive visuals aside, this film has very little to offer. Plotting is ridiculous, dialogue is cliché and vacuous, characters are paper thin. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that the setting is almost completely irrelevant- this could be a film taking place on a boat or in a cave or basically anywhere; it's by no means sci-fi. To not make proper use of such a location is criminal. There's also some trite pseudo spiritual nonsense crammed in for good measure. Still, isn't Earth pretty?
1		nuotio	63 _77%
A technical masterpiece for sure and one of the few films that really takes advantage of 3D cinematography. But, the script really isn't that special and the characters are very cliched. Director Cuaron was more successful at combining the technical with a good story in his previous "Children of Men". Still, "Gravity" is absolutely worth it to see on big screen, if only for the second debris scene which leaves the viewer gasping for air.

GRAVITY doesn't resemble a movie so much as a video game that has pretensions to be a movie. For a film set in space, it's very action packed. But I'll be damned if it's still not cinema with a pulse. On a technical level, it's very hard not to be impressed and maybe technical brilliance really is enough. If it's dumb, it's dumb in a sweetly Romantic way that acts as the antithesis to the vulgarity of a TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN or the banal "truthiness" of a DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU.

Saw it at the movies, in 3D, which certainly helped. The dialogue is a bit so-so at times, however there are 3 particularly awesome things about this movie: 1. SOUNDTRACK - the score is abso-fuckng-lutely spot on, each tense scene heightened, a snatched moment of contemplation is perfectly nuanced. 2. CINEMATOGRAPHY - love it, we're spinning, trapped, disorientated, claustrophobic along with Bullock. 3. VISUALS - space is pretty. This movie is worth seeing, big screen, loud sound, do it!
1		Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	80 _89%
Gravity is a phenomenal visual experience, a great drama, exhilarating from start to finish -- assuming the constant barrage of plot contrivances don't bug you or make the film too silly for you to take -- and is actually one of the few films that benefits from 3D. It will lose something on home video, too, even if I can't wait to see how many of the scenes in the film were created once it gets its home release. I recommend seeing Gravity in 3D and at the cinema. You'll be really glad you did.

I understand you can use CG to do absolutely everything nowadays if you put in enough work. They should've done a better job on their breath animations, though; those were just yelling "CG!"

Visually stunning, but that is where this film ends. The plot is rather typical and way too narrow minded for this film to be anything but a visual spectacle.

Of course this is a good movie. Simply because it looks, sounds and feels awesome. It shows stuff that you haven't seen before and probably won't see again.

Yep, the FX novelty presented here elevates every silly, emotional dialogue -- hey George, couldn't you just NOT be you for a couple of minutes? -- and the overall inspirational tone to a completely absorbing space experience, highly thanks to Cuarón's well-known patience to depict life being vanished second by second and Sandra's -- yes, Sandra's -- talent to deliver her best performance ever. To die alone in space is such a heavenly way to die. Last shot sould be credited to Malick, though.

Technically extremely well done, looks very pretty and Clooney is on form BUT far from amazing for a few reasons. 1) A lot of luck is involved, 2) I'm pretty sure some science is thrown right out the window, 3) they should have gone scoreless, 4) I don't like Sandra Bullock. She does a fine enough job but she just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. Not helped by the clunky character back story she's given. Watch it, but probably just once.

Come on guys ... this movie was not all that good as most of you say it is :D . The CGI is amazing indeed.. but the rest of the story is just Sandra Bullock trying to get from one 'safe' docking station to another. And the best scene was with George Clooney (where Sandra is hallucinating), who is only in the movie for 20 minutes or so :D. Overrated.

While the visuals are very good, the amount of cheese really put me off. Has some tense bits, but the whole experience was ruined by those sappy moments and quotes Bollocks made. Also, Russians, ruining everything

Yes it definitely has the action, the suspense is at a taut pitch, and it has excellent execution of the story. But,.. I thought the plot was missing that extra punch that lands at that central point right behind your eyes. I can't fault it, I'm just sayin', it needed that last step. And as for the cinematography, all the up close visuals were excellent (I too was trying to figure out how they did all those no-gravity shots), but the background, Earth, wasn't crystal clear which is what

Only drawback I can think of is the writing. Too cheesy and explanatory at parts, breaking the general rule of cinema - show, don't tell. If about 60% of the dialogue was omitted from the film, it would have been perfect. Completely immersive, though. Cuaron is an absolute master of the one-shots.

This film gave new meaning to the words: "gripping" and "breathtaking". It was a little too sentimental at times, but fuck it. It was awesome! Also, watch it in both 3-D and IMAX. I know, I know, but it's worth the money.

I can't remember the last time I found a film so gripping from start to finish. Space has never looked so spectacular and equally never felt so threatening. Sandra Bullock gives a tour de force performance but it's Cuaron's relentless pacing of calamities that deserves the real plaudits. I left the cinema feeling like I'd been on an exhilerating fairground ride. Only downside: some of the inane dumbed-down Americanised dialogue. Will watch again on DVD, without 3D!

It's ok. It's a movie that got so much appraisal based on the fact that it just isn't stupid.

Technically, this is FLAWLESS. Cuaron is seriously an amazing director...but a weak story writer. Narrative-wise, it's pretty cliche and the strong visual motifs of rebirth/evolution don't exactly match up. But still it's definitely worth watching simply to marvel in Cuaron's directing talent.

Don't be fooled by Cuarón's cheesy attempts to cram in surface-level metaphors--underneath Lubezki's stellar cinematography, this film offers very little else in terms of narrative or thematic originality. Hell, even if it weren't going for something groundbreaking, it could at least say something important. Instead, we're left with obvious nods to ideas of rebirth and evolution without anything actually being said about these ideas. I guess the critics were starved for a sci-film in 2013.

Amazing story telling. The next step in keeping the audience on the edge. I had a ton of fun.

Visually stunning movie, that exposes the hostility of space towards human life in a sombre and meaningful way.

Watch it in 3D. All the dialogue was pretty terrible, but the breathtaking visual beauty more than made up for it.

Beautiful and intense. I didn't want to blink or stop biting my nails. I had a problem with one scene, it's more of a technical complaint than an execution flaw. Radios dont stay keyed automatically. Some guy on earth isn't just going about his night and singing his baby to sleep while his amateur radio is constantly keyed. Anyway. How about Bullock's legs!

An impressive feast for the eyes but a few character deficiencies (George Clooney) drag it down. Another unfortunate problem is that I know more than enough about physics to know how many corners were cut in making this cinematic instead of realistic. That may not deter everyone but it does deter me.
