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

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.

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.

This seems to be one of the movies you either love or hate. I hated it from the very moment that it became clear that Clooney's character would not survive. From that point, it gave me a feeling of disappointment, loneliness, void, and emptiness. At the end of the day, it is a survival thriller in space, with little to no storytelling. There are other survival movies that are much more loveable, because of the characters, the storytelling, a feeling of hope, or the plot twists. Nothing of that is here. I regret every minute I gave to watch that movie, and do not understand why it is so highly acclaimed.

A science fiction film that amounts to little more than one very long special effect.

I have no idea what the critics are thinking on this film other than the special effects. It's massively disappointing. Implausible plot, logic-defying situations, Sandra's panties - this is hardly an effort a true sci-fi aficionado could ever appreciate. Just simply another special effects focused Sci-Fi film *yawn*

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Is there a way to give a movie zero stars? Just Sandra Bullock hyperventilating for two hours. George Clooney was in it for a millisecond, and people in the theater were shouting “die already”. I’ve never seen so many people leave the theater before. I’ve never done so, but was tempted.
