But I am reminded that "The Wolf of WallStreet" was Excellent!

I found Wolf of Wall Street to be horrible and Gravity only marginally good.

Saying something is "good" or "bad" without any reason why is a waste of pixels (and out time).

I hated Wolf (well made, but the message of super-greed really grated on me).

I loved Gravity as I thought it was well paced, great soundtrack, and had excellent special effects. (IMAX 3D was the best non-animated example of 3D I've seen).
Yes, it had plot holes and factual goofs. (spacewalking jet-packs have a tiny fraction of the power / duration shown in the movie). But the head of NASA's astronaut training in Houston said the use of tools and the way they moved in zero gravity was exactly how they train 'em.

Well, that was just as true of "2001: A Space Odyssey."

I found less false physics in "Gravity" than in the usual action movie.

I was talking about the fiction movie "Gravity." I didn't see the documentary "Gravity."

Among the best picture nominees this year,Gravity and Her were my favorites,while The Wolf of Wall Street was dead last.It was such an overrated and annoying film and Dicaprio was nothing but forced and overacting in it,thank god he didn't win(not that I was particularly thrilled by the winner though.Bruce Dern or Joaquin Phoenix should've won imo)

Even though Gravity and Her were very nice films,I don't think either of them could leave indelible impressions,would probably be forgotten in a few years.

Anyway Before Midnight was BY FAR the best film of 2013.A perfect end of a perfect trilogy,period.

I liked Gravity, I thought it was well done and the story was simple but to the point. I haven't seen Wolf yet but plan on it, although I do have to admit I have high hopes for it.
