I loved Gravity. It was beautiful from beginning to end. I loved the long silences. Wasn't bored for a minute. I have never seen anything like it. It intentionally didn't have much of a story. In fact, it got faulted by some critics for the unnecessary melodrama of Sandra Bullock's back story -- her daughter. I agree with that. It was completely unnecessary.
I loved that there was so little bullshit. No romance. The space cowboy was a hero, but he couldn't save the day. The film did not pander. I liked it a lot.
