Yes this has absolutely stunning special effects, in fact I've never seen anything quite like it. How the hell did they film this anyways? Its also claustrophobia inducing and a hell of a thrill ride, yet despite all that Gravity just didn't do it for me.

Now I can't claim to know anything about physics but it all just seemed far-fetched to me, so that basically what you've got here is a disaster movie that without all the amazing visuals is just okay.

Gravity reminded me of "Apollo 13", in that everything that could go wrong does, for astronaut Sandra Bullock -who is having the worst day ever. George Clooney is just being George Clooney (he's barely in the movie), a space cowboy playing the same character he is in all of his other movies. Charming, flirty, heroic in a humble way. He was this guy on ER like a hundred years ago.

Anyways I'm sure if I'd seen this in the theatre I would have given it a higher rating as that's how its meant to be seen but that would still be based on the special effects not the story or the acting or the gratuitous floating underwear scene.

Still I don't regret watching it, the effects are game changing and it must have been gruelling for the actors to film. The ending also left things a little vague. Where was Sandra? 5/10/14
