  Sandra Bullock does an excellent portrayal of an astronaut, due to an unforeseen accident, is stranded alone in outer space. This film is her story of trying to survive and get back to Earth alive. Very tense, great acting, exciting, believable. The 3D version best!

  On the edge of my seat to the end as the audience observes the human nature of survival.

  Looks exciting and a little fearful at the same time. The guys in my home will love it.

  The special effects are very impressive, as well as Sandra Bullock's acting.

  The 3-D is never excessive or superfluous. It's perfectly pitched for each scene.The level of tension is high. After a playful, relaxed first fifteen minutes, the movie never lets up (except during a brief interlude) and, although only 1 1/2 hours in length, the intensity is draining. (That's a good thing.) Ryan goes from bad situations to worse ones; it's almost as if Cuaron delights in using her to illustrate the relentless nature of Murphy's Law.Gravity is true science fiction, not watered-down or transformed into space opera or fantasy.Sandra Bullock's contribution could easily be overlooked when one considers how much CGI is employed to craft the film's final look. Her performance here, however, is easily the best of her career, outstripping her overrated Oscar-winning role in The Blind Side. She runs the gamut of emotions from relief to despair and in many scenes must convey her internal state without dialogue and with the camera so close that the only thing we see is her face. Physically, the role is demanding, requiring her to be in peak physical condition. Like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, she has no one to play off for a majority of the film but, unlike Hanks, her character is under a potential death sentence. It's impossible to conceive of her not getting a Best Actress nomination for this part.George Clooney is given co-billing with Bullock primarily because he's a legitimate movie star with proven box office draw.It's a powerful psychological underpinning and Gravity, like Moon, explores it effectively. In this case, we have the added benefit of state-of-the-art special effects and superior acting supplementing a well-defined narrative. Throw in some of the best 3-D ever and Gravity becomes the complete package. See it in a theater. If you wait for home viewing, it will still be worthwhile, but the impact won't be as strong.

  This is the most realistic space movie to date. Sandra Bullock is at her best and being backed up by George Clooney doesn't hurt. In a field of mediocre and ridiculous movies this one really stands out

  A great thriller, sci fi, movie. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney did a excellent job in this movie. I was excited throughout the whole movie. A must see movie.
