Well, I feel very, very alone in my feelings toward this film, but I hated it. I gave it a D just because the visuals were all right. As mattmav45 said, the child death for Bullock's character just felt like a forced contrivance to make you care about her character. I don't think that Bullock is a good enough actress to carry a whole movie by herself. I'm baffled at what everyone sees in it. What weak back story there was felt like nothing more than an excuse just to have a bunch of special effects that weren't all that revolutionary. I'm totally fine with differing opinions and I would never criticize someone for liking Gravity, but I just don't get it.
