The effects are unbelievable, but so is the script.

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2013)

Astronauts Ryan (Sandra Bullock) and Matt (George Clooney) are stranded in space after a freak accident.
There that's the story out of the way, now let's concentrate on the real reasons why this film is being heaped with praise: the spectacular special effects and awesome 3D.
With every shot of Gravity begging the question 'how the hell did they do that?' and some really great use of the latest 3D technology, this big budget special effects extravaganza is a sumptuous feast for the eyes from the very first frame to the absolute last, director Alfonso Cuarón pulling off feats of visual trickery even more unbelievable than Ryan's ability to survive the film's repeated disasters.
If you're able to ignore the script's sillier moments and some glaring scientific plot-holes, Gravity should prove to be a stellar experience; if you're looking for something resembling a great story, or have an particular interest in space exploration, prepare yourself for the possibility of crash and burn.
7/10 purely for the visuals.
