Just saw it. It was little unrealistic but I still thought it was a good movie.
I'll give it a 8/10

It's actually one of the more realistic space flight movies out there.

The movie was visually stunning. That can't be argued. Maybe one of the most beautiful movies of all time.
When it came to the actual story, it lacked a bit. Also not very much character development. I felt this movie was the love child of Apollo 13 and Cast Away. That being said I enjoyed both of those movies more.
Taking into consideration visual appeal as well as all other factors I give it a 7.5.

As far as realism goes, it's in the Armageddon ballpark. You haven't even seen it yet, so I can't wait for your half-assed retort.

Saw this today & really liked it... felt like I was floating in space the entire time. Good movie.

Director turned the criticism that special effects have destroyed plot and dialogue on its head. Acting and dialogue are stripped to their essence and take place in an arena so overwhelming that the audience cannot help but hang on to the characters for dear life. It is a very, very good movie that grabs you by the throat and does not let go. Just one man's opinion though.

Yes, I have.
As to my "half-assed" retort, I'll just let former astronauts do the talking for me:
Buzz Aldrin
Tom Jones
In summary, aside from a few nitpicks here and there, they both agree Alfonso Cuaron did an incredible job of simulating the physics and dangers of spaceflight. And Tom Jones even admits that every nightmare scenario that occurs to Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in the film is possible. They probably wouldn't happen all at once like they do in this particular film, but certain liberties always have to be taken when doing a disaster movie such as this.

visually stunning. yes, good movie? no. I did not like it at all, story line was wack and I just was not feeling the character development at all.

When I'm back at my laptop, I'll post a retort that destroys everything those two say from people who currently work for NASA, including one from a current astronaut.

Buzz Aldrin was the second man to walk on the Moon and spent quite a bit of time outside the spacecraft on Gemini XII.
Tom Jones is one of the most traveled men in the history of spaceflight and has been outside the spacecraft many, many times. I'm pretty sure what they have to say is very difficult to refute.
Not to mention the fact Cuaron had a current NASA astronaut ADVISING him in pre-production.
The movie's physics aren't perfect and they can't be because you wouldn't be able to tell a story at all. But to say Gravity is on par with Armageddon in terms of its realism is incredibly asinine.

I really enjoyed it. It was more of a great experience than a great movie though. More so than any movie I have ever seen, I really felt like I was there. Short of breath and all. 3 out of 4 of us that went to the movie had dreams of being in space that night. Definitely recommend going to see it in the theater.

Cool and what does that have to do with the fact that current NASA employees including current astronauts are laughing about how unrealistic the movie is?

The only thing any of them have criticized in terms of not being realistic is the position of the Hubble Space Telescope in relation to ISS and the Chinese Space Laboratory. They also have talked about how the jet pack couldn't possibly have enough fuel or power to make the orbital corrections it makes in the film. And all of them acknowledge the filmmakers had to do these things in order to better serve the story.

I felt same exact way. Great visual movie and very intense scenes but no character development at all. Critics over rated this one big time in my opinion
