I bet it's sad at the end when they all die.
...actually, and I know your comment is in jest - but that reminds me...
Can We Spoiler Tag Any Hints Or Insider Info etc Until After The Films Been Released Over Here Please!
Nobody wants to know the films resolution before its even hit the UK.
Ta muchly people.
Neil deGrasse Tyson's fact checks on the twitter lastnight... http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/7/4811336/neil-deg...
He enjoyed the film, but the science isn't all accurate. Mild spoilers in his tweets.

Gravity opened in top spot at the US box office at the weekend with $55.6m (34.6m) and in the process broke the all-time record for an October debut!
Over 80% of the seat sales are for the 3-D version.
This is another mind-bending review: http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2013/10/07/unrea...
...which ends with:
Every aspect of the film is phenomenal. Gravity allows its audience to float in space along with its cast, while a haunting and thrilling score accompanies the vistas. Bullock in particular gives an amazing performance, and its hard to believe so many other actresses dropped out of this film before she took on the role. Like the voyage in the film, the movie seemed doomed as it kept losing potential cast members, but Cuarons final product is far and away the best movie of the year so far.
Its hard to praise Gravity enough. Its a movie that isnt just good for what it is, its given us a reason to love movie theaters again. Its more than a film, its an experience. Few movies can say that, and ones that do tend to rely on visuals alone. Gravity is the total package between its beauty, intelligence and emotion, and its a film I have to recommend to anyone and everyone.
The rest of the un-spoilery review is good too.
Variety:
Some have hailed Gravity as a religious experience; others simply as an altar piece in the church of Cinema. And who can argue with either conclusion? For here is that rare movie that each of us must complete in our own way, in our own time.

that's how I am seeing it. Truth be told the more this gets talked up the less I want to see it 
There is that looming danger that it won't meet expectations...I am just going to assume it will be a good film and if it turns out to be a stunner then all's the better!
The movie is just pure art; beautifully measured, brilliantly paced, stunningly photographed etc.
It is NOTHING like Open Water. Rarely does a movie get universal acclaim from both critics and Joe Public.
You MUST watch it. Preferably in IMAX (if these things matter to you, I would drive an hour or two for an IMAX screening if there are none near you), and sit nearer the front - it's worth it.
Simply mindblowing.

I just saw it today. I saw it in IMAX 3D and it is by far the most riveting cinematic experience I've ever experienced (and cinema-going is a top hobby of mine!).

I went to see this late the other night. (I asked specifically not for a 3D showing and not sure that was the right choice)
Anyway I'm not sure why all the rave reviews? 8/7 out of ten at best for the visuals.
There was for me (and I suspect others who took elementary lessons in Physics), some really glaring fundamental errors which sort of ruined it for me...

This doesn't appeal to me for some reason - Im pretty sure I saw the teaser trailer when I saw Star Trek (yes that long ago) and thought that it was no doubt beautiful but likely full of errors that would grate and generally be a depressing film.
I can't really describe it, but it's the same reason I have no interest in watching 127 hours, if that makes sense?
