You don't see a lot of mundane movies about space, really. Gravity is
interesting if you're into that kind of thing, and it does maintain a
good level of tension. There are some nice shots, and the soundtrack is
fine, but it's not that impressive overall.
I wasn't really interested in Gravity, but it got so much
hype, I had to watch it. I'm not a huge Sandra Bullock or space fan, but it
wasn't so bad. She didn't really have a lot to do here, it seemed like. I was
skeptical about watching her float around space in a space suit for an hour and
a half, but luckily she gets out of the suit and does some other stuff inside
spacecraft, too. It wasn't the most amazingly beautiful thing I've ever seen.
There were some nice shots of the Earth, but if you've seen any of Chris
Hadfield's pictures on tumblr, you've pretty much seen all there is to see (in
fact, more interesting stuff than there was in Gravity). The score had some
nice moments, but it was mostly unremarkable.
