What a movie!

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2013)

This one had me at the edge of my seat. That hadn't happened for ages.
Do watch this one in 3D on the big screen, it's much more effective that way.
The cast is small , with Sandra Bullock taking up most of the movie in a film that basically has a cast of two (putting aside some voices such as ones from Houston). She copes with this burden beautifully.
What more can I say? It compares favorably with 2001: A Space Odyssey in terms of isolation and space (Ryan Stone and deadly space debris storms as compared to David Bowman and HAL). A similar feel exists here.
It was a very memorable night out indeed for me.
