Agreed.

It is still No. 1 at the Box Office and could possibly be setting records.
An amazing film. It is much more than what is presented on the screen, it is a masterwork of art, a living breathing work of art.

A landmark film of the 21st century and one that deserves it's place in the hall of fame. Great work by all involved.

I wasn't a fan of Cuarón's Children of Men because the camera work in that, while impressive and extremely clever, was far too self conscious and detracted from the basic story. (Which wasn't all that in the end).

With Gravity all the camera work and technical savvy works seamlessly with the story.

I just can't watch this film a second time.
My problem is with the dialogue, not the "Bad Science" of having Hubble, the ISS, and the Chinese station all within a stone's throw of each other.

In the press releases for Gravity, it was stated that the Cuaróns "studied thousands of NASA photographs," which is obvious, because any still frame from the film is perfectly indistinguishable from those taken during Shuttle missions or from the ISS. No complaints on that front.
But it's painfully obvious that they didn't listen to any mission audio or read any transcripts, because not one line of dialogue sounds remotely similar to anything uttered over the space-to-ground frequency. Case in point: Clooney and his long stories. Mission Control would never ask him to "Please expand."

Also, Bullock and Clooney talk to each other as if they've only just met! He actually asks her, "How long was your training?" Shuttle crews train[ed] together for close to a year, so that question was meaningless, as were all those revelations about Bullock's personal history, which would've been in her Psych Eval.

Maybe it's that I generally dislike English-language films written & directed by those for whom English is a second language, because even though English words are coming out of the actor's mouths, it still feels like badly-translated dubbing.

Destroying the manned space programs of every country in the world, except Mexico, for entertainment was Alfonso Cuarón's & Jonás Cuarón's bigger sin.

The reviews make this sound like exactly the kind of movie that draws me to the pricey theaters of Times Square and their full 3D extra large screens with sexy sound effects and stadium seating, etc. But the previews I've seen were just lame. Sandra Bullock is spinning in space. OK. I can't make myself care. Spin away honey and have fun.

If anyone sees this and has an opinion as to whether there's plot and characters interesting enough to give all the pretty pretty space shots meaning, please share with as few spoilers as possible. I'm inclined to punt on this one, but I'd hate to miss out if it's actually good.

I admit, I find Bullock and Clooney annoying. That doesn't help.

The French Revolution would have never happened if Marie Antoinette had just given every peasant an iPhone.

You pretty much nailed it.
If you are farrrrr toooo stupid to be allowed into space, this film is what would happen to you. I expected more of Bullock, but Clooney still ensures the moron factor to be stupendous.
