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

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. Go to Full Review
Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Mar 24
Gravity shows us the beauty of space, how the silence can be an escape from all the noise experienced on earth, as well as, gravity being associated with space, water or the events that don't allow us to be free in life, from ourselves and others. Go to Full Review

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

4/5
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. Go to Full Review

chad Aug 13 Wow, amazing on the big screen! See more Stephen Lovelette 04/15/2025 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. See more R T @RT65144481 1d Only watchable if you ignore the science. I couldn’t. See more Johnny D @RT45242996 3d Visually stunning & fast paced. The plot & acting are decent & it’s a thriller that actually keeps you watching. I’d recommend seeing it at a theatre & with a date, if you intend to actually watch the movie that is… Sandra Bullock pulls off the fish out-of-water or in this case, novice astronaut-scientist out-of-earth protagonist who finds herself & rest of crew trapped in space. From there the movie doesn’t really slow down for much, so pee before entering. Luckily, it’s also only 1.5 hrs long, but feels much shorter. If you want a realistic "sci-fi" movie, that doesn’t have a bunch of superheroes in leather, you’ll enjoy this film. See more Darja S @darjasuri 4d A solid film with a genuinely gripping premise. I kept catching myself thinking — how terrifying it would be to be stranded up there. Probably the most isolated a person could ever be, completely cut off from civilisation with no way out. Some moments felt slightly unrealistic, though I'll admit I'm not exactly an expert in physics or space, so I can't say for certain. A good watch for anyone who enjoys space-themed films — and a reminder that the universe is very, very indifferent to whether you make it home. See more Jack O @RT81003539 Jul 15 Love this movie and have watched it several times. Nail-biting and visually amazing - and George Clooney and Sandra Bullock are superb. See more Read all reviews
