Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
Gravity Ratings & Reviews
- pdesorcyOctober 27, 2025Fantastic movie! Sandra Bullock did up awesome job as did George Clooney! Love this movie, I watch it once or twice a year.
- Eric BakkeJanuary 29, 2025A space survival story with minimal plot or substance. It's purely a sight and sound spectacle, with one of the most impressive sound mixes I’ve ever heard. This makes for an intense ride—if you’re in it for the sensory journey, it’s definitely worth it.
- Jimmy JamesApril 22, 2025Cinema exists for movies like Gravity. Warning: If you go on this ride with the wrong mindset, you may not be able to fully appreciate it. To be clear: This is a Survival Horror film in space. Once you realize that, Gravity becomes, in my opinion, the absolute best of the genre. Watch it at night, alone, with headphones, no phone, no bathroom breaks, and no subtitles; immersion is very important. Understand the realities of space, and the existential fear that you could drift off into nothingness, left to suffocate, alone, with no one to save you, and all it takes is one slip of the hand. Listen to every line and watch every action; they all have meaning and consequences. If your heart is not racing at the end, you didn't do it right. This is peak cinema, and it hits HARD if you get it. I've watched this film at least 30 times since its release; even knowing how it ends, it does not diminish the experience of the ride. Twice, I have finished the movie and immediately started it over from the beginning like looping around after getting off a roller coaster or water slide to go on it again. Maybe it just hits different for me, but if you go into it understanding what it is, and what it isn't, you should have a good time. Also, if you were wondering, this film is a shining example of how to write a strong and competent female character with not ONE SHRED of wokeness. It's almost painful to watch in that respect given the current state of modern filmmaking. Movies like this just aren't made anymore.
- damonf September 1, 2025An amazing tech demo.
- stuhannafordJuly 28, 2025Visually excellent, but all in all a fairly run of the mill survival story at heart. It’s no Castaway, it’s no Apollo 13. Not hitting those heights doesn’t mean it’s a failure, but there is something not quite there. The fear, intelligence, helplessness, ingenuity… they are all kind of missing. There’s more than a little success by blind luck, which perhaps stopped me from being completely invested. Style, lots. Substance, a little. Gravitas, less.
- sippin_fantasyJune 24, 2025The type of movie that makes you want to scream at the screen move!
- ርልዪረMarch 6, 2025It is one of the most scientificaly accurate and visually stunning films ever made. It has great Visuals and its VFXs/CGI are from 2013, can't believe it. It is a thriller picture and we are interested to see what's next. It has done many things right regarding to science but, just explain how her suit touched that aircraft which must had a dangerous amount of heat. Okay, no problem. One who's a science-nerd like me will love this, one who is willing to watch this as a thriller/heart-stopping picture will not be disappointed, who's watching this for visuals will love this, and for those who are willing to watch this for George Clooney or Sundra Bulluck or both will not be disappointed. The intense, memorable scenes are there and it is not a picture that one will forget after an hour or two watching this. It gets fit in the memory. The way it picked up emotions makes this movie far better than it is in the reality. The climax is just insane. I will give this movie 9/10. Because sometimes it gets boring.
- Mister ArnMay 15, 2025Gravity is Castaway done in space. Great scenery and lots of personal drama. Weak back story for Ryan Stone hurts the movie. Sandra Bullock does a good job of conveying panic and fear, it creates tension that keeps you watching.
- CrossCutCriticApril 29, 2025The Weight of Silence and the Word That Returns --- “A slumber did my spirit seal; I had no human fears…” — William Wordsworth Some silences hum with promise. Others ring with absence. In Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, space is not just a setting — it is a character, a presence, an abyss. It holds no malice, but no mercy either. And into this terrifying stillness, a human voice calls out — not in command, but in ache. Sandra Bullock’s Dr. Ryan Stone is alone. Stranded. Untethered. Spinning. There is something viscerally horrifying about her disconnection from Earth — and not only because of the physics. There is a deeper kind of detachment: emotional, existential, spiritual. She is not just lost in orbit. She is lost in grief. We learn her daughter died. A random, absurd playground accident. She never recovered. She simply began moving — away from home, from meaning, from God. Space, in all its dead silence, offers what the world no longer can: the absence of reminders. The film’s beauty lies in its restraint. Cuarón does not give us exposition. He gives us stillness. He gives us breath. He gives us light — the curve of the Earth, radiant but unreachable. He gives us space junk — shards of human achievement turned lethal. He gives us silence, again and again. And he gives us Ryan, floating in that silence, waiting to die. --- It’s tempting to read Gravity as a parable of modernity — of the techno-human, cut off from rootedness, drifting in abstraction. And it is. But it is also a parable of the soul — of a human heart wounded by death, recoiling from love, drifting into numbness, until something — or Someone — interrupts. --- Ryan finds herself in a foreign capsule, out of options, out of strength. She prepares to die, not tragically, but quietly — as if slipping into the void is simply the next logical step. And then — a vision. Clooney’s character, long since dead, appears. Is it hallucination? Spirit? Memory? The film doesn’t say. But in that moment, something returns: the will to live the desire to go home a voice speaking into the silence. It is, quietly, a resurrection. --- There is no explicit religion in Gravity. No sacred symbols. No doctrine. But there is a cry: “No one will mourn for me. No one will pray for my soul.” It’s a line that has haunted every century since Golgotha. Because that is the deepest human fear — not pain, not death, but unwitnessed loss, a soul erased without name, prayer, memory. And into that fear, the cross speaks. Not as thunder. Not as spectacle. But as presence. As the God who enters the silence. Who joins the lonely. Who speaks the name of the lost — even when they no longer speak it themselves. --- In the film’s closing moments, Ryan plummets back to Earth — burned, broken, barely alive. She crawls onto the shore like an animal reborn. She stands slowly, shakily. The camera pans low. We see her foot sink into mud. It is a holy moment. The Word has become flesh again. Gravity, that ancient law, no longer a curse — but a call. She is not flying anymore. She is standing. On Earth. Alive. --- What does it mean to return from death — not as a conqueror, but as a child? What does it mean to survive not by might, but by mercy? If the silence of space is a kind of cross — lonely, unbearable, and void — then Gravity dares to imagine that something speaks even there. Not loudly. But truly. And the voice it speaks with is the oldest in the cosmos: the one that once said, “Let there be light.”
- Tiago NazarethApril 13, 2025A ridiculously visually stunning movie right from the get-go. The photography is astonishing. Simply astonishing. The film is full of intense, thrilling situations with amazing performances from Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, leaving you gripping to the edge of your seats. It's a pretty intense ninety minutes, and all if it is a visual masterpiece to see. Although I found the script to be very weak, the story never relents with suspense and emotional intensity resulting in a remarkable movie. 'Gravity' provides a good reminder about how fragile life really is, and how we, as human beings, are a tiny little thing among a vast system that's beyond our control. The movie is an experience and a celebration of the human being, and our will to life, and our effort to make our lives meaningful. Go watch it
- Aidan ZevMarch 15, 2025I was disappointed they didn’t use Gravity by John Mayer in the sound track even one single time. Sandra bullock having a panic attack for 2 hours was fun to watch regardless. 7/10
- Movie_NerdFebruary 16, 2025Nice movie, for me it’s the type of movie you watch when you got time over
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 3, 2025Not as dark or intelligent as I was hoping it would be, but enjoyable nonetheless.
- Rowan KrzysiakJanuary 6, 2025Watched this again in 3D today. The 3D is superb and those first two 'debris attacks' have an almost unmatched and overwhelming intensity to them. Seriously gripping. It doesn't quite hit those highs through the whole thing but the film is a super-tight length and it buzzes along at a great pace. This time round I found Sandra Bullock's 'Hollywood Face' a bit distracting to the point that I couldn't really root for her but then you can't have everything...
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024Let's see. Terrible, predictable, unoriginal, uninspired and ludicrously unbelievable story. Bad and uninspired acting. Awkward and unlikable and very cliche characters. Poor pacing making things unnecessarily boring. No depth what so ever to anything to justify the slow parts either. The story itself is paper thin and full of holes with absolutely terrible plot devices. They didn't even get the science stuff right. Much of the movie is overly pretentious too, making it extra annoying. The ending is bad. Hell, the movie even starts terrible. And the effects really aren't that good either. It's literally impossible to give this movie anything other than a 1.
