Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity is an eerie, tense sci-fi thriller that's masterfully directed and visually stunning.

The Times (UK)

Their [Sandra Bullock and George Clooney] fight for survival against the odds is so brilliantly realised that you forgive the implausible plot.

With its themes of spirituality, religion, birth, rebirth and hope, Gravity is a film that will move audiences in different ways. That's the beauty of it; it transcends genres, generations and time, a modern classic.

Gravity is arguably the best 3-D movie of all-time and it's an experience we've never seen before at the theater.

Midwest Film Journal

While there is no way to truly re-create the wholly immersive theatrical experience of "Gravity" at home, the newly reissued Blu-ray comes closest — reintroducing a powerful Dolby Atmos sound mix and intriguing extra features into a more affordable orbit.

Rated: 4/5

Stephen Lovelette

Gravity is a one-dimensional spectacle. Technically sleek but narratively weightless, it relies on visual wizardry to distract from a bare-bones story. The film opens with long, beautiful shots and an impressive sense of spatial immersion — then spends the next hour dragging out an extremely thin plot with endless close-ups of Sandra Bullock breathing. The setup is stronger than the payoff. Once the tension wears off, whats left is a hollow journey through increasingly implausible obstacles. It's not profound, it's not moving — it's just long.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

A visual treat + intense background score + Thrilling narrative It's a gripping experience and I guess they purposefully didn't put in any scene from Earth to make the audience feel the pain of astronomers. Negatives: I wish it had more characters and more story. It feels mechanistic but I guess that's the point of the movie.

Pretty to look at, with a lackluster script. Any chance of suspense is lost as soon as all but Bullock's character are done away with; I knew a major studio movie would not have the guts to let her fail. I was right.

Gravity was released in theatres in 2013 and stars George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, and Ed Harris. Clooney plays an astronaut on his last flight to outer space before retiring, with Bullock playing a doctor on her first shuttle mission. During a spacewalk the shuttle is destroyed and Clooney and Bullock float around for the rest of the movie with nothing happening. I remember seeing Gravity with one of my sisters and she fell asleep and was snoring through the last half of the movie. I wasn't quite that bored as I thought the SFX were excellent and both Clooney and Bullock gave decent performances, but honestly it's a dull movie. I never got invested in the characters and this is a story solely about the characters living or dying. It's a movie worth watching but for me does not live up to the hype that surrounded it.
