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

10/10
The story employs familiar thriller tropes: dwindling oxygen, insufficient fuel, and shrinking time. However, the appeal lies not in the accumulation of obstacles but in the construction of a shared perception with the viewer. [Full review in Spanish] 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

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 Sérgio N @RT03383691 5d A masterpiece in virtually every sense! A masterclass in immersion and claustrophobic space tension. Incredible direction and effects, absurd soundtrack and cinematography. There's almost no cast (despite them being excellent), which proves that this will never be a decisive factor for great works. Needless to say, it won several awards, with "only" 7 of the industry's most coveted golden statuettes. A gem among the arts! See more Yash G. @yash22 6d Genuinely stunning. Please watch this on the biggest screen you have with the best sound system you can use. There is a grandness to this movie that can only be experienced watching in that format. This may seem like a short movie but it’s perfect, nothing is dragged on. The movie is punchy and very effective. Think of taking any movie and keeping only its best parts, that is this movie, literally every scene is just as important and deliberate. This movie will make you feel and test your emotions very well. Also the sound track is phenomenal which left me with goosebumps. Yes the story might be a little on the simple side but that’s exactly what makes it good. Taking a simple concept and perfecting it is what this movie did. Movies like this are rare and my words can’t do enough justice. This is genuinely a crafted masterpiece that everyone, regardless of whether you are a space or thriller enthusiasts or not, needs to watch. See more Elias S @RT60577233 Apr 21 One of the if not the worst movie i have ever see Good visuals dont make a good movie this movie fails in all aspect story is one of the worst things i have ever seen and the acting is unconvincing to say the least not a good one would not recommend See more Marquis H. @MWNumbers Apr 19 I loved it. Especially when I saw it in 3D in the theater. Great filmmaking! See more Read all reviews
