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.

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

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.

Sure it's cool but seriously, it's like let's go down the street to the Chinese Station or round the block to the ISS. Just gets old.

This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen. I haven't felt that enraged. Ever. The storyline is idiotic. Nobody with that little common sense should be in space in the first place. The female lead just cries and wastes her oxygen the whole time. Matt should have been the center of the movie. He was actually tolerable. I had to skip through the last 45 minutes of the movie because I couldn't stand to watch anymore. It was all just unrealistic. The level of stupidity presented when put under pressure was unacceptable. There is no way someone that stupid would be in space. I am so incredibly enraged. Please send help.

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.
