Gravity Reviews
7M Pictures
Gravity has such a big screen scope, 3D clarity and gripping story that it'd be a crime to simply wait for Blu-ray to watch it.

The Patriot Ledger
Cuaron thrusts us into the heavens for an adventure so lifelike you can almost reach out and touch the stars. And who wouldn't want to reach out and touch George Clooney and Sandra Bullock?

[The] director's last effort was another great science-fiction movie, "Children of Men," which was borne of ideas. This one celebrates sensation. And it deserves to be one.

A milestone in cinema. Ask me in twenty-five years about the most magical moviegoing excursions I've had, and I'm pretty sure I'll cite the day I saw Gravity as one of them.

Leonard Maltin's Picks
"Gravity" is a knock out, but without Bullock's movie-star charisma and everywoman relatability, the film wouldn't work nearly as well as it does.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
An intense visual wonder from Alfonso Cuaron with no extraneous BS. See it in 3-D if you can.

Given what Cuarón has done here for the film medium, Gravity is nothing less than a 5-star 2001 Space Odyssey for a whole new generation of movie lovers. Take the ride.

Not since Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey has a mainstream film featured space exploration in such an evocative, heady, and realistic manner.

Gravity doesn't travel any new ground with the space story. It just takes what has become standard and powers it into the cinema stratosphere with visuals that can't be fully appreciated in a single viewing and a story that is full of emotional fireworks.

Cuaron's real victory in the film and his use of 3D is the way he lets it acquire an important role in the storytelling, because it allows the viewer to really get a sense of the unfathomable emptiness and isolation just above the clouds.

Gravity is not a film of ideas, like Kubrick's techno-mystical 2001, but it's an overwhelming physical experience -- a challenge to the senses that engages every kind of dread.
Nerve-racking, sentimental and thrilling, Gravity honors terra firma even as it reaches for the stars with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

Cuarón and his cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki, keep the audience in weightless suspension right along with the astronauts. For most of us, Gravity is the closest we will ever get to the real deal.
