Kevin Maher The Times (UK) This is virtuoso film-making on every level. Rated: 5/5 Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide 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. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 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. Rated: A Sep 6, 2017 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Gravity is arguably the best 3-D movie of all-time and it's an experience we've never seen before at the theater. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Nick Rogers 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.

chad Wow, amazing on the big screen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review 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 04/15/25 Full Review Torin F GRAVITY is an enduring masterpiece that works incredibly well as both a hard sci-fi odyssey and a powerful analogy of rebirth and redemption. The film's elements all spin together in perfect synchrony, and the results are at once dazzling and apparently effortless. A filmmaking triumph. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Mate P ***SPOILERS*** Gravity is a very well-made and well-written film, but I wasn't able to connect with the characters as much as I wanted. The characters are well-written. They're quite likeable, but I couldn't connect with them too much. Matt is happily sacrificed himself, which is really unrealistic in my opinion. Ryan on the other hand could be a real person, but I disliked how much she talked to herself. I understand they didn't want the movie to have no talking after Matt's death, but I definitely would've preferred less spoken words. The story starts in medias res, which gives the dialogue the burden of revealing the backstories and I think that was handled well. The directing is amazing, the tone is tense and the movie feels huge even though it's short. The cinematography is insane with the long takes and the framing. The visual effects are perfect, with great CGI and reflections that look real, which I' not used to seeing. The editing is great. I feel like the pacing of this film depends on how much you care for the characters. I felt it was slow, but I liked that. The sound effects added a horror element to the film, while the score is both epic and very tense. The acting performances are great, especially from Sandra Bullock. Gravity is awesome, but I didn't care for the characters as much as I would prefer. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Obi-wan K The visiuals are INSANE like imagine in a CINEMA Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Akuma J "there's nobody up here that can hurt you. It's safe." Goddamn it!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
