eli5: Is there a point in outer-space where as you get close enough to earth, gravity will pull you as if you entered free fall or is it more gradual?

There is no point where anything suddenly changes. The gravitational pull between any two objects (like you and the Earth) decreases continuously as they get farther apart. It just slowly gets weaker and weaker the farther apart the things are, but it's never exactly zero, and it never jumps suddenly.

So even if you started from way out by the moon, you would still BE in free fall towards Earth, it's just that the free-fall acceleration is quite low at that distance compared to what you're used to feeling on Earth.

And even on Earth we can see the difference. You weigh slightly less on a mountain top or in an airplane than you do on the ground, because you're a little farther away from the center of Earth's mass that's pulling you down. As you go higher than that, up into space, the gravitational pull just keeps getting less and less. 

But even if you went to another whole galaxy, the Earth would still be pulling you towards it a tiny bit. Just like every object in every galaxy is currently pulling on you as you sit here on Earth. Just too weakly to do anything compared to Earth's gravity keeping you on the ground.
