This movie had great special effects when seen in 3D at the I-Max as I saw it. And good special effects was where the entertainment value of this film began and ended.

This film had all the emotional, intellectual and philosophical depth of a wet puddle. It was just one long series of impressive special effects, with some boring bits involving Sandra Bullock floating around in space to break up the relentless monotony of watching one disaster after another.

The plot may be succinctly summarized in a single sentence "a woman has a rather unpleasant and frightening time in space". Be content that if you are capable of reading and understanding that sentence, you know all you need to know about Gravity. No reason to go and see it.

I can only put this film's high critical and audience acclaim down to some form of mass hypnosis, perhaps involving subliminal images which were doctored into the film.
