Amazing feeling of Being There

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2014)

As a space enthusiast, no other movie before has given me the feeling of being along for a space trip as Gravity. It eclipses, by far, my previous favorite of Apollo 13 (which is also a great movie).
Much has been written about Gravity so I won't rehash any of its (admittedly threadbare) plot details. I won't even talk about its fantastic technical merits.
The bottom line is that this is the closest any of us will get to actually being up in space. Isn't that alone worth the price of a movie ticket? I thought so.
For once I didn't care all that much about a deep story or deep characterizations. This is a 'day-in-the-life' disaster-experience movie and doesn't pretend to be anything more than that.
