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.

The transition in and out of Ryan Stone's helmet is the kind of directorial decision that reminds you what cinema is actually capable of, pulling the viewer into her breath and terror and then releasing her back into the void. Sandra Bullock conveys survival instinct, grief, and physical exhaustion without ever letting the craft show. Ninety minutes pass like doomscrolling. At first, I thought it was a single-shot film, but it still had very long single-shot sequences. Probably one of the most adrenaline-rushed films I have ever watched. The final shot is where the film earns everything it put its audience through. Ryan Stone crawled out of the water, fingers in the mud, pulling herself upright on unsteady legs and feeling gravity for the very first time as something earned rather than given. Stunningly beautiful and quietly devastating. Need to see more of Alfonso Cuaron. See more Donald K @Awesomestar Apr 3 The best space movie I have ever seen. Stunning visuals, extreme emotional depth, thrilling mo.ents and a freakish realism that made it so much better. Breathtaking movie See more Kenna T @madethisaccounttoleaveabadreviewforgravity Mar 31 As someone with a technical and scientific mindset, this movie had me on the edge of my seat by frustrating me to no end. I get not everyone thinks this way, but there was no emotional or other connection to be made to the film, so the bad science really just emphasized the poor plot and storyline. Least favorite movie of all time, I would scrub it from the Earth if I could. See more Eric H @RT56773213 Mar 29 An experiment in how absolutely crap a story can be if you flood it with pretty VFX. The science was so bad you could power the world's electrical grid by attaching generators to all the historical scientists spinning in their graves due to its very existence. From the first death, I knew it was going to be bad. That guy was so annoying, I cheered internally for the thing that killed him. The dialog was dreck. Let's be clear ... my exaggerated vitriol over this film came from my own belief in the hype: "It's the closest thing to being in space!" It was really beautiful. The 3D was entirely effective. It *did* convey the feeling of being there. I love Sandra Bullock and I like George Clooney. But they compared this to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was finely crafted for scientific accuracy (outside the parts that made it sci-fi). I didn't expect a Kubrick-worthy masterpiece, but aside from the effects, it was awful. Watch "Europa Report" if you want a well crafted space film. See more Read all reviews
