Gravity lets you visit space without sugarcoating its dangers. It's a brilliant portrait of technology gone wrong that uses it just right.

What are critics saying?
The director’s long-overdue follow-up to “Children of Men” is at once a nervy experiment in blockbuster minimalism and a film of robust movie-movie thrills, restoring a sense of wonder, terror and possibility to the bigscreen.
The Playlist by Oliver Lyttelton
Gravity is about as visceral an experience as you can have in a cinema, it’s a technical marvel, and it’s a blockbuster with heart and soul in spades.
Gravity shows us the glory of cinema’s future. It thrills on so many levels. And because Cuar?ón is a movie visionary of the highest order, you truly can’t beat the view.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
A science-fiction thriller of rare and diamond-hard brilliance.
Village Voice by Stephanie Zacharek
Gravity is harrowing and comforting, intimate and glorious, the kind of movie that makes you feel more connected to the world rather than less.
The Hollywood Reporter by Todd McCarthy
At once the most realistic and beautifully choreographed film ever set in space, Gravity is a thrillingly realized survival story spiked with interludes of breath-catching tension and startling surprise.
Time Out London by Tom Huddleston
This isn’t just the best-looking film of the year, it’s one of the most awe-inspiring achievements in the history of special-effects cinema. So it’s a shame that – as is so often the case with groundbreaking effects movies – the emotional content can’t quite match up to the visual.
The fact that Cuarón’s film strives to be something more than thoroughly harrowing — no small feat in and of itself — solidifies its existence as a marvel of not just technical craft but sheer imagination as well
The film thrums with an ongoing existential dread. And yet, tellingly, Cuaron's film contains a top-note of compassion that strays at times towards outright sentimentality.
A touching story of a woman's struggle to survive beyond this world, Gravity is a cinematic masterpiece that makes you clutch on tighter to those around you.
Gravity is a nail-biting thrill ride with only two passengers: you and Sandra Bullock. With every second that passes, the cold void of space looms ever closer, and a woman who thought she had nothing left to lose is reminded just how precious life is. This movie will leave you on the edge of your seat for almost the entirety of its 90 minute runtime, and not a second of it goes to waste. No matter what your taste in movies may be, this one is worth a watch.
Although on the surface this movie is a taut, edge of your seat thriller expertly directed by Alfonso Cuarón of "Roma" fame, the real heart of the film comes from the quiet grief that Sandra Bullock's character, Dr. Ryan Stone, just can't overcome, as well as her beautiful relationship with friend and fellow astronaut Matt Kowalski played by a jovial George Clooney.
