Aesthetically stunning but the story was very bland. I also found it incredibly hard to accept NASA would send a bereaved person who had suffered the death of a child into space. Nah, not happening fella.

Perhaps, but...*puts on film snob hat*....you can see it working in the metaphoric sense. Grief, loss, the endless void of space etc.
Was anyone else hoping after all she'd been through a bear would appear out of the woods at the end and eat her?
The director actually joked in an interview that they had an 'alternate ending' that was bullock's character standing up and walking away and just as she takes a step, clooney's character falls from the sky and crushes her to death and the film just cuts to black.
i'd have probably found that unintentionally hilarious

Bought this in 3D (our first Bluray 3D purchase) and the wife and I watched it last night.
Visually it is absolutely stunning. The 3D aspect really was good (especially the 'Marvin the Martian'!)
However, we were disappointed with the film in general. After all the rave reviews, we were expecting a bit more.

That's generally the response the movie gets. When I said so a while back I got flamed. Now more and more people are adjusting their opinions and seeing Gravity for what it is - 90 minutes special FX reel. By the way, you have a 3D TV? Can I ask how much it costs? Also, wouldn't the 3D only be appropriate for some films?

Yes, I didn't even know it was a 3D one when I bought it. I only realised it when I got it home and set it up and noticed they had given me two "strange pairs of glasses" with it
I can't remember exactly how much it was - I think it was round about £450.
And yes, you need to buy the 3D version of the Bluray disc (it comes with s normal 2D version too) for it to work, obviously they are more expensive. Gravity is the only film we've bought in 3D but I'm glad we did as I felt it was worth the extra money.
Finally watched this.
My God it was horrendous, I get that it was technically a great feat, but there was no story or suspense.The dialogue and 'acting' was cringeworthy and Sandra Bullock is a truly terrible actress.
Ending was obvious. Yawn.
Judging the film watching it at home is not really a fair appraisal in my opinion. If ever a film was meant to be seen in the cinema AND in 3D its this. I Personally hate 3D but this film was the exception, I felt like I was there with them, I have watched it in 2D on bluray too and it loses some of its impact but its not how the movie was meant to be seen. Its meant as a visceral experience, the story was secondary.

Wouldn't go as far as to say SB is a terrible actress; she's actually quite brilliant and very underrated imo.

Surely it's only obvious if you know exactly what happened at the end.
I agree
She is a film star. As an actress, she is incredibly limited. I still fail to understand how she earned the acclaim and award nominations she did. She failed miserably as the emotional and heartbreaking aspects her character had gone and was going through in the film.
I have said this before but this was a role that Jodie Foster would of been superb before. Who in my view, one of the few decent american actresses still alive today.

I have to agree. The special effects were lovely, but everything else was dire.
I thought it was absolutely stunning from start to finish. Even though you probably knew there would be survivors, I thought the soundtrack was every bit as good as the visuals, and really did create a lot of brooding suspense.
And Clooney is always hilarious when he does deadpan.
Comments
I watched it in 2D and I still thought it was brilliant.
Much of Gravity worked in that way I thought.
I watched it in 2D second time around and still loved it. Appreciated the soundtrack even more. Great score.
I was kinda hoping that she was the bear in the woods having an "I'm a human astronaut" dream.

Lol now that would have been a great ending

On sky every big film is on demand a week before sky movies premier.
