NOTE: This post (originally titled “Dr. Stone and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Spacewalk”) contains three things — my original review of Gravity; links and excerpts from a few other reviewers whose write-ups resonated with me; and my response (published a few days later) to the wave of complaints and protests that came in response to my review. It turns out that if you dislike this movie and say so, you’ll infuriate a lot of people.
First... the review itself.
