The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone

Believe the hype: Gravity is as jaw-droppingly spectacular as you've heard - magnificent from a technical perspective but also a marvel of controlled acting and precise tone.
Top CriticUnfolding as a series of terrifying object lessons in Newtonian physics, the movie lends new meaning to the phrase "spatial geometry."
Gravity is not a film of ideas, like Kubrick's techno-mystical 2001, but it's an overwhelming physical experience -- a challenge to the senses that engages every kind of dread.
Nerve-racking, sentimental and thrilling, Gravity honors terra firma even as it reaches for the stars with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
Cuarón and his cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki, keep the audience in weightless suspension right along with the astronauts. For most of us, Gravity is the closest we will ever get to the real deal.
Gravity, a weightless ballet and a cold-sweat nightmare, intimates mystery and profundity, with that mixture of beauty and terror that the Romantics called the sublime.
Keeps the tension at white-knuckle levels, evoking the paradoxically claustrophobic emptiness of space as the astronaut faces dangers intimate (asphyxiation) and existential (the void).
Revolutionary in style and scope and one of the most audience-immersive films ever made.
"Gravity" is a visual marvel, yet it's more than eye candy.
As an immersive cinematic experience, Gravity is quite incredible. In terms of storytelling, however, it isn't quite out of this world.
A spectacular film that, for once, lives up to the hype
The special effects are awesome while the storyline is just okay
The stunning vista of the Earth spinning below, the scale of the emptiness, the distances, the astronauts and wreckage tumbling through the void...This is what 3D was made for.
Less admirable than 2001, but more exciting
Makes you feel as if you're floating through space
Breathlessly paced with a procession of nerve-racking cliffhanger moment, Gravity is not just one of the best films about humans in space, it's one of the most tense tales about the power of the survival instinct.
As a technical achievement, it's unparalleled...and its depiction of courage leaves a lasting impression. The little triumphs are always tempered by huge moments of melancholy and doubt, because there's always more harrowing danger just around the corner.
Once the hype and hysteria descend from orbit, it'll be nice to have Gravity simply be what it is - an exciting, accomplished and flawed film from a director willing to take risks in the name of discovery.
Much less than meets the eye. A victim once again of the professional critic's blurb machinery.
While the movie is very heavy on special effects and dazzling visuals, the part of it that impressed me most was the very personal emotional journey of Stone (Bullock).
Um filme que respeita a Ciência mesmo colocando-a totalmente a serviço do Drama, revelando-se, no processo, como um dos melhores trabalhos de 2013.
Isn't just a great movie, it's a great experience that frequently astonishes, captivates and embraces the challenge of raising the bar on what we should expect from modern day films.
Blessed be the innovators but those interested in timelessness need to hire some writers and restore the basics to their rightful place in the cinematic firmament.
In terms of old-fashioned, cliffhanger thrills, Gravity leads the pack this year. It plays like an extended version of the 'Open the pod-bay doors, HAL' sequence in Kubrick's '2001.'
Totally glad I made the decision not to become an astronaut.
The most exciting science-fiction space adventure ever made.
Audience Reviews for Gravity
Super Reviewer
"Gravity" is an extraordinary and confident achievement for Cuaron (who also co-penned). With its brief running time it has no wasted moments, it propels you with pulse-pounding and tense results.
Sandra Bullock surprisingly rises up to the challenge and delivers a strong performance in what could have been a miscasting nightmare. The central role of Dr. Ryan Stone seems tailor-made for accomplished tough-as-nails actresses Sigourney Weaver, Jodie Foster or HIlary Swank, but Bullock's vulnerability makes her peril even more tense and she's remarkably believable.
But "Gravity" is Cuaron's show - and it's stunning.
