Abstract
In this brief review I consider the advances made in weak gravitational
lensing over the last 8 years, concentrating on the large scales - cosmic
shear. I outline the theoretical developments, observational status, and the
challenges which cosmic shear must overcome to realise its full potential.
Finally I consider the prospects for probing Dark Energy and extra-dimensional
gravity theories with future experiments.
