Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2013)

Can't stop thinking about it. Very well done with a terrific grasp of the unique perspective of space: no friction, no gravity, no sound, orbital dynamics... Small cast, breathtaking scenes and precision sound, along with great attention to detail. I wasn't sure I'd like Bullock and Clooney in this technical story, but they were outstanding. I'm betting Bullock and special effects get Oscar noms. Yes, there were some Hollywood liberties but overall B+ verisimilitude. Felt like I was there. A short movie, but I'm glad the director didn't try to add to it -- perfect as is -- more would dilute the impact. My non-3D wife admits 3D is the way to go. Don't miss this one.
