Visually stunning and quite thrilling

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2013)

This movie is better than the trailers suggest.
The visuals of space are stunning. Deserves a best cinematography award for sure.
It's refreshing that a story about space can be just as exciting without aliens and monsters from outer space. The natural perils and dangers are even more terrifying. And you do get all of them from debris to suffocation to fire and water. You can almost feel the physical hardships that the astronauts feel. The dialog is alright not annoying. Sandra Bullock does a good job playing it inexperienced but not incompetent. George adds his usual charming support. But the acting is secondary in this movie anyway.
The soundtrack is a bit overwhelming at times. I know they were trying to make things exciting but it could have been dialed down a bit.
I just saw the 2D version in a medium sized cinema screen - wish I had chosen a cinema wit a bigger screen to see it.
