This is a film that certainly does not leave indifferent, anyhow, a characterization excessively cold and linear of the (few) characters, a pace not always appropriate and a certain coldness in the overall execution lead me to exclude it from excellence.

Anyhow, the points in its favor are so many, that it is impossible and unfair to focus only on error.

If only for the courage shown by the director, producers and actors, in presenting a product so discordant from the "mass" usually sent to the public (especially in science fiction), this is a film that should be seen, understood and, rightly, appreciated.… Expand

The plot seems simple but that's what it made it special. Everything is very realistic(cinematography), the tension. Felt that the movie is a little bit draggy and might not need some parts!

It was good. They make it sound intense, but it is not. The CGI is nice and great to look at. Making a movie that I might give another go at or get it on Blu-ray.

With a small screenplay Cuarón made an amazing film, with a lot of suspence, surprising performances and great especial effects. A master piece for the upcoming science fiction films.

By details I mean the most he can do without risking the entertainment aspect for scientific accuracies.

Sure, it's a little bit disturbing to see how close all the space stations up there are, but I managed to deal with it by just simply assuming it has everything to do with Einstein's relativity theory. Or how it should've been next to impossible for many other things that happen in the movie to actually happen. But then again, this is a very entertaining work of art, smart-ass!… Expand

The visuals are stunning, everything else is solid. A few scenes have their laws of physics bent, once or twice quite grossly which takes the toll out of the movie. Also the satellite debris cloud is nonsense but we can dismiss that.

Plot 7
Simple and short, and that is the goal, some impossible scenes damage the movie.
SPOILER(Debris cloud, wouldn't work like that... but it does a good job of providing tension to the movie. When Clooney detach's himself, first they would bounce back into the station, even if for some reason they wouldn't, they are clearly stopped but it seems like he is falling for some ridiculous reason, then when he detachs himself, he starts floating away, really...? When Bullock jumps into the Chinese space station, the whole thing is impossible on so many levels, but let's imagine it isn't, she just makes guess work and all goes right...)

Acting 7
Clooney is a flawless 10 but Bullock does not convince me, It seems that the goal is making the viewer immerse into her character and It didn't work for me.

Cinematography 10
Special Effects 10
When you mix perfect cinematography with highly detailed special effects, Gravity is what happens.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are only two reasons why this movie didn't get full ratings.

1. I got head spins through out the movie because they really did an awesome job of making you feel that you were in space. No gravity. Condensed and claustrophobic rooms. I never experienced this before! Might be better in 3D?
2. I am never a fan of the only option of survival being the intense inner strength of a man. I like 'real' movies and most of the time we are very afraid of dying and dealing with being alone. I would like to see that option of crying out to God once and a while in a movie.

Otherwise, this movie had me on the edge of my seat. I can't believe how a movie with only two actors could have such depth and intensity! And one actors goes away on a 'floating' journey only ten minutes in. So 1 actress. The whole movie. She does an amazing job.… Expand

The film takes you into a suffocating atmosphere and plays with your mind at times. The visual effects are mind blowing and it does not matter if you watch it on 3D or 2D, the experience is great. It does not have the greatest plot ever, but it is quite curious that a movie does not need to be rich in storyline to be great. Gravity has enough visuals and superb performances to succeed. I watched it with very high expectations and it did not disappoint me. This film definitely deserves its high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic (96/100 and 97% respectively). It was worth the hype. I could not breath during the whole movie and my heart was racing. I almost had a heart attack watching this.

Gravity is undoubtedly the most thrilling film of 2013. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat all along. I am calling it now one of the best movies of the year. It did not need a complex storyline or a brainy script to be a good movie. The plot was quite easy to follow and understandable to me. I felt connected with the characters. They are not boring scientists, they are humans, and the dialog between them felt very genuine to me. Moving on, it does not matter if you watch Gravity on a small TV or on your laptop the experience is still great. Damn, I could watch this film like a hundred times and never get bored. I also want to add that the musical score is astonishingly masterful.

On the upside, Gravity is highly entertaining, scary and unforgettable. It has top-notch visual effects, and its final act is neat. Watch it if you have high expectations or if you are a fan of the horror genre, also if you liked some other films from this amazing Mexican director. I am pretty sure that fans from the writer-director Alfonso Cuarón will not be disappointed. On the downside, the plot may seem short for some people, but as I said above, it does not need a vast plot to be an excellent film. In conclusion, Gravity is a terrific piece of work that boasts: the best CGI I have seen in a film, a heartbreaking performance by Sandra Bullock, and an impeccable direction by Cuarón. [A-]… Expand

This isWHAT I LIKED: This film is a unique experience. It makes you feel in awe, tense, excited and confused - somehow it absorbs you in the world (or rather out of it!) to the point where you forget about anything else. It's just so real. This is because not only are the visuals stunning and awe-inspiring, but there's a suprisingly excllent performance from Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, who manage make it personal and play these roles with conviction, and the changing emotions you might expect.
This movie constantly flits moods and emotions, which is why it doesn't drag or bore (when it easily could have) and just when you think 's okay, something always happens to catch you off guard, maintaining the tension perfectly. 'Gravity' is bloody amazing
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The sheer tension and bleakness does take away some of the potential for emotion - you don't neccessarily feel sympathy towards the characters, more for the situation itself, but this is still thanks to great acting
VERDICT: It's nothing sort of bloody amazing. Gravity is a bleak, scary, brilliant space adventure like no other. Just wow.… Expand

“My Sister’s Keeper” is an American and dramatic movie which is directed by Nick Cassavetes. It was released in 2009 and was based on the novel written by Jodi Picoult. “My Sister’s Keeper” had won several awards such as Teen Choice Award (2009) in the category of Choice Summer Movie Drama, ALMA Awards (2009) in the category of Outstanding Actress in Motion Picture, won by Cameron Diaz, and Young Artist Award in two categories: Best Performance in a Feature Film-Leading Young Actress, won by Abigail Breslin, and Best Performance in a Feature Film-Supporting Actress, won by Sofia Vassilieva.
Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin) was born by genetically engineered to save her sister, Kate Fitzgerald (Sofia Vassilieva), who suffered from acute promyelocytic leukemia when she was still a kid. To let Kate keep alive, her mother, Sara Fitzgerald (Cameron Diaz) gave up of her career as a lawyer and be a full time housewife to take care of Kate. But when Kate turned fifteen, she had renal failure. So this time, Anna was then forced by her mother to donate to Kate one of her kidney, but Anna did not agree to it because her future would be affected. Then she decided to sue her parents to seek medical emancipation and after many of her internal organs, tissues, and blood cells were donated to Kate. So, this ends the synopsis.
There are some aspects that I like and dislike from the movie. I like the acting of the characters because they seem to act really good especially the main characters. Kate’s family shows unconditional love towards her. Their sadness is simply so touching. About the editing aspect, I most like the flashback scenes. These scenes help the audience to get more understood where a problem actually comes from. The costume design is quite simple, but what matters is the movie inspires.
To my opinion, I dislike the visual effects. They are too ordinary and plain, and not fascinating. These have made me feel no patience and I cannot wait to watch the ending of the movie. Also for the editing, some dialogues are muted. The muted dialogues let the audience to guess and will be unsure to what the characters are talking about. There are few inaudible dialogues when Sara is communicating with the doctors and the nurses. “My Sister’s Keeper” actually prefers to have narrations instead of playing the background music. Therefore, the background music is only played for once or twice.
My overall reaction is, I like the beginning of the story. I find it ethical and good to watch although it is less humorous and not entertain. Nevertheless, it is fine to try to watch for at least once. I think you should prepare some tissue paper to dry your tears because the story is really sad. Plus, this is a parental guidance movie so it is better to take your whole family along. For the ratings, then I can rate that “My Sister’s Keeper” gets 7.9 out of 10 scores.… Expand

A film that looks fantastic on Blu-ray and a great TV but without both of them the film looks bad. It's an amazing film but the best bit is how it looks.

In my opinion that’s just nonsense. Of course the experience is better but even though I didn’t get the chance to see it in theater I was still stunned when I saw it at home for the first time.
First of all let’s get to the overall plot: A team of astronauts are out in space to repair the Hubble telescope when a Russian satellite is getting hit by a rocket and now wreckage of this satellite is about to collide with them. After that the only goal of everyone who survived this accident is to get back to earth alive.
Gravity isn’t a Science Fiction movie, it’s more of a nerve-racking thriller. The main characters are played by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney who both do an excellent job but this flick isn’t outstanding because of the great acting or the story, it’s the superior technical level this movie is on. Whether you talk about sound, which of course isn’t always around as you are in space, so the most of the time you just listen to the powerful soundtrack, the impressive visuals when thousands of pieces of metal fly by you, or just the camera movement by Emmanuel Lubezki who won several Oscars for a good reason.
In the first few minutes you get to see a very long shot which really involves you into the catastrophic events. Even when you are just at home lying on your couch you feel sick in the stomach when crewmembers are tumbling around. It’s really rare that I can feel for the characters that much as in Gravity, which gets supported by POV (point of view) shots here and there. That’s why I don’t get why a lot of people are complaining about this movie being boring, as he doesn’t let you breathe a lot during the short runtime of 91 minutes.
The only concern I got with the film is a very cliché turning point within the movie, but I don’t want to spoil things here so I’ll just leave you with that. This aspect gets easily dubbed by all the other great things I mentioned.
In the end Gravity isn’t just a movie, it’s more of an experience you should witness. Don’t get turned off by people complaining about watching the movie at home although a big TV and some good headphones or a surround system are recommendable. Overall it’s not perfect but definitely worth a watch!… Expand

The greatest achievement of Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron. An adventure of fear and panic in space narrated with wit in near real time, with a minimum of cast and an inconceivable but brilliant Sandra Bullock.

Gravity absorbs you and captivates you, during its 90 minutes you won't leave your seat, if you want to experience and see a part of the future of cinema, this is a great example.

I remember deciding to watch this movie in cinemas because critics were all praising it as one of the best movies of that year. I watched it in IMAX 3D and remember being blown away by the movie. It won: Best Director, Best Cinematography,I remember deciding to watch this movie in cinemas because critics were all praising it as one of the best movies of that year. I watched it in IMAX 3D and remember being blown away by the movie. It won: Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing at the Oscars which is a lot of awards. I've decided to rewatch it on a whim but this time on my home TV. The question is if this movie is overrated or deserving of its accolades. Let's talk about the concept first, it's great. A survival movie in space, with no monsters or anything like that, is such a great concept that has not been done before or since its release. The movie perfectly illustrates the horror but also the beauty of space in a way that surprisingly meshes well together. On that note of the beauty, the cinematography is amazing. A lot of amazing cinematography is usually using real shots but Gravity does it all through CGI. It shouldn't work as CGI is quite obvious and bad CGI can even take you out of the movie but Gravity doesn't "fall" in that category. There are a lot of gorgeous shots that feel like paintings and this is partially thanks to the amazing visual effects. The set design for the space ships are claustrophobic and further emphasise the loneliness within this movie. The score is great and elevates the tension in the scenes where the score is prominent but during the more hopeful scenes, the score is more orchestral and beautiful. The movie doesn't rely on the score too much and sometimes just lets the silence of space or the breathing of the astronauts to suck the audience into the movie and it works. The movie is visually spectacular but what about the characters and story? The movie is revolved around Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) who is our point of view character. For the most part, the movie makes us care about her because of the situation she is in and that is fine. However, the director (Alfonso Cuarón) decided to include a scene that elaborates on Ryan Stone's backstory on Earth. This is a good choice as it makes the audience more sympathetic with her and more understanding of why her personality is what it is or why she does certain actions or choices in the movie. Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) is a sort of anchor character that support Ryan throughout the movie. He has a contrasting personality to Ryan as he is funny and charismatic yet due to being more experienced is also one who guides Ryan. I like the dynamic between the two of them and when both of them are interacting it's funny or heartwarming. I also have to praise Sandra Bulluck as she does a great job in carrying this movie. Her performance whenever she is struggling in space feels genuine and I can feel the fear and panic just from the tone of her voice. She also delivers in the emotional moments that bring the scene to life. She was deserving of that best actress nomination at the Oscars. George Clooney does a pretty good job as well. Although, he mostly just plays Matt as the witty and charming guy. I do like it when the two are together, George overshadows Sandra which sounds weird but that is exactly what it should be in terms of who their characters are and what the plot is asking.

I don't have many flaws with the movie that aren't just nitpicking but I do think the fact that Dr Ryan Stone seems to constantly panic in the first half of the movie kind of weird. Dr Ryan Stone just seems to not know the basics of being in space so know it all Matt Kowalsky constantly has to tell her stuff that I think she should've known. From a movie perspective, I get why this choice was made so that the audience can easily understand things about space but it could've handled way better in my opinion. Additionally, we get some backstory on Dr Ryan Stone but we don't get anything on Matt which I find a bit odd and lessens the impact of a certain scene. Unfortunately, I do think a lot of the impact this movie has is sadly lost because I am not watching it in a cinema. You could argue that with a lot of movies but for me watching this throughout certainly made me think "this would be way better in a cinema". In conclusion, I still really enjoyed the movie. Yes, the movie is impressive because of its style but in terms of substance, it certainly is lacking. However, the movie is just so visually spectacular that I don't mind it. Furthermore, a lot of great movies such as "Dunkirk" and "1917" do similar things to Gravity and they are both great movies as well. Gravity still is one of the best space movies to have come out in the last 20 years. I feel this movie accomplishes a lot with visual effects and space cinematography. A lot of people might not be talking about this movie anymore but for me, I certainly will still remember it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a very claustrophobic film - its certainly a film to avoid if your prone to motion sickness, as it (inevitably) includes a lot of footage of the main characters floating about in space. Its quite thought provoking, in that it made me think about how small we are in our planet, compared to the clearly vastness of space. Some scenes are particularly disorientating in how their shot primarily from the bottom of the characters' spacesuit helmet, so you only get a brief view of their surrounding environment, while their floating around and around in space. There is definitely a spooky atmosphere present.

There are some amazing shots, views of the Earth in terrific colour and I imagine this is a film that looks better the larger the screen you view it on.

I thought that the music was really quite haunting - think cold, chilling, sharp stringed instrumental music. Some scenes were very intense, I could feel the characters desperation and fear as the events took place and I almost had my heart in my mouth watching, wondering what would happen. I found myself quite engrossed in it throughout, which is fairly surprising, given I've never been much of a fan of science fiction fans and particularly those set in space. There is something strangely hypnotic that I found somehow appealing in this film and certainly the fact that it comes in at a pretty prompt hour and a half running time, doesn't hurt.

Content wise, there isn't much likely to offend, although the general claustrophobic and disorientating feel of it may not suit some viewers and I suppose the plot could possibly upset some younger, if particularly sensitive, viewers but there wasn't much (if any) strong language, violence or anything like that present. Cast wise, Ryan Stone is played by Sandra Bullock. I liked that the main character was female and that she seemed pretty knowledgeable as an astronaut, even though she was portrayed as reluctant to take the reins when her colleague, Matt Kowalski (played by George Clooney) who appears much more laidback and in control, tells her to save herself. She seems fairly head strong and determined, while also clearly worried and sad at times. I felt Bullock did well in portraying that mix of headstrong-ness and fear of isolation and imminent death. Other cast members are only present as voices heard through the astronauts communication in their headsets. They include Ed Harris, Amy Warren and Phaldut Sharma.

Theme wise I'd say the main themes are isolation and resilience, plus, I suppose, hope.

One scene I found particularly spooky involved Ryan facing up to her situation, clearly feeling an element of despair and her tears floating around in front of her. That felt quite poignant. I suppose it makes me think of the cheesy old line 'in space, no-one can hear you scream' only Alien this is not - there is no horror-esque gore, blood or guts (as mentioned) and yet the clear sense of isolation and the despair that prospect leads to, is very well, almost chillingly brought across. I'm not sure if I've seen a film that quite works as well as this one does, in portraying it. If I had to mention any criticisms, then I'd say that there are one or two plot details which did seem a little unlikely to my un-trained eye - the main one being to do with oxygen supply running out, yet this not seeming to actually happen but I won't say anymore due to the obvious risk of spoiling the plot.

Yes, I'd happily recommend this film, as I found it to be quite spooky, poignant and emotive. It has a very good use of incidental music, the characters are well portrayed, it features impressive cinematography and its thought provoking. It isn't a film I'd recommend to anyone who suffers from motion sickness or who otherwise doesn't like films with constantly moving camerawork, for fairly obvious reasons but apart from that, I'd recommend it.… Expand

Even watching it outside of theaters, nearly a decade after it's release, the visuals stand the test of time. Incredible. If there is anything to take away from my review is that this film is, simply, awe-inspiring.

The heartfelt emotions conveyed in the story were captivating. The movie shifted from phase to phase effortlessly. This movie really harkens back to the Avatar movies in terms of a beautiful motion picture. The lessons about human resilience is a timeless tale. The weaving in of religion elevates the ethereal connection of the film. The uniqueness of it's design and style, particularly for it's time, I imagine was a defining piece of art.

There are so many positive things that can be said about the film that I'll leave it with this-- this movie is a piece of art, an evocative piece that is emblematic of movies abilities to tell a story. While the visuals, the sound, the cinematography, the ambiance, the transitions are all sublime, they provide the base perfectly, which allows for the frankly simple story to blossom.… Expand
