4.0 out of 5 stars Hanging on for dear life 21 Nov 2013
By Antenna TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray
This technically brilliant film contains beautiful shots of the earth viewed from space, there are some tense moments as the two space workers (Clooney and Bullock) struggle to survive when they find themselves stranded after a disaster not of their making and it is intriguing to watch them floating about surrounded by a motley collection of objects and dealing with weightlessness in a matter of fact way, at least until calamity strikes. As with most adventure films, the desire to create ever more exciting situations sends plausibility spinning into the outer galaxies and it is probably an advantage to be ignorant of some of the basic laws of physics. At the end, despite the ludicrous twists, the film succeeds in leaving you with a sobering sense of mortality combined with the strengh of the will to survive.

"Gravity" is definitely greatly enhanced if seen on a large screen in 3D.

5.0 out of 5 stars talk about the worst first mission ever 12 Nov 2013
Format:Blu-ray
Went to see this movie the other night on impulse and without knowing anything at all. Not a huge fan of either of the leads but for some reason i just had this idea in my head that it would be worth it. I had no idea what i was in for but i treated myself to an IMAX ticket. I sat down and got comfly with some popcorn...

The start sequence is so amazing and probably one of the only place for you go grab a breath before all hell breaks loose, literally. By the time the movie was over i had not even touched my pop corn and had almost torn the arm of the chair from the tension. My heart was racing but i was smiling my head off and wanted to watch it all over again. I could have watched another 5 hours of this movie yet it was perfect the length it is.

I am simply dazzled and amazed by the work that went in by everyone involved in making this, there were no short cuts or cheap shots. the acting is beyond the call of duty and must have been such a mind job. Bullock is outstanding and deserves a massive reward for her performance. Clooney just stole my heart from the beginning and fit into his role nice and snug.

Seriously, do yourself a favour and treat yourself to watching this superb movie with a huge screen and roaring sound that shakes the ground. I am most certainly going to see this again. Then im getting the bluray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. 10 Mar 2014
By David H J Ashdown TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I didn't see this in the cinema but watching it at home was an amazing experience all the same. You need to have the 5:1 system turned up high as the sound makes it - but ironically it's the sudden silences that create the effect. My wife , who doesn't normally like science fiction, thought it was amazing as well

Not a brilliant film, worth a watch. As a Sci-Fi fan I was looking forward to this film but to my disappointment I found so many physics errors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 3d must see! 1 April 2014
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
This takes viewing into a new dimension but be careful if you are subject to vertigo or the like it is so realistic that you think you are there one of the family went quite disorientated and our cat who was watching was sick but otherwise brilliant!

Yes I'm sure in 3D it probably makes everyone go "Ooooo" and "Ahhhhh".

Outside of that we have a fairly non-existent storyline filled with George Cloony (Buz Lightyear), a brainless imitation of Ripley from aliens, who all too often is either doing excessive heavy breathing or saying she doesn't know what to do. (That is of course when she isn't using a fire extinguisher to pull off a WALL-E imitation)

Throw in a pretty clichéd cliff hanger moment and up to 2 other space stations that are mysteriously empty and you have a joke of a film.

In fact watch this:

[...]

(100 times more entertaining and should have been the official film.)

Visually spectacular. Will make more sense when watched in 3D. Brilliant directing and a great score.
