Save your money! (and 1.5hrs of your time).

Gravity was a great disappointment. The studio must have paid shills to write glowing reviews so we can waste our hard earned money on this junk.
Given that I was there in the 60's when the real Apollo missions were unfolding and worked for the company (Grumman Aircraft) that built the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) that actually landed on the moon, I am a little more than familiar with space technology and what can and cannot happen.
The first real space movie was Kubrik's "2001:A Space Odyssey" which to this day hold a high place in my heart which Gravity failed in every way to capture my appreciation for what I hoped for, and really wanted it to be, a great movie.
I paid extra to see the IMAX 3D version and was not disappointed with the CGI special effects and the implementation of 3D. The 3D wasn't abused like so many other 3D movies just for the sake of being 3D. No feeling of having to duck when objects are flying at you out of the screen. It actually was one of the best implementation of 3D movies I've seen next to Avatar. The CGI was stunning, realistic and believable. This is the only good thing I can say about this movie.
Now for the story line, or the lack of one. My 10 year old niece could have written a better script. After the initial 15 minutes the believability factor started to fade real quick. As they say "it does not compute". It starts off as a mission to upgrade one of the satellites, where things started to go wrong. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the plot to expand and to develop. Unfortunately I waited for 1.5 hours and it never came.
The ending left me thinking what happened to the rest of the movie? Will there be a Part 2 which will complete it?
I wished there was a money back guarantee for movies, I would have been first in line. Total waste of my time!
