Fine movie -- would have rated 10 but for music at end.

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2013)

I thoroughly enjoyed Gravity -- saw the 3D version -- but for the overbearing music at the ending. Sandra Bullock's character finally returns to earth, survives reentry, splashes down, swims to shore, crawls onto a sandy beach, and then -- comes a very loud orchestral and vocal score with this soaring, supposedly inspirational and triumphal music. Too much -- I get the fact that her survival has been miraculous and that she must feel wonderful having survived, but for me, simple nature sounds would have been enough. Skip the orchestra, please. I thought the 3D effects were effective, especially those that featured all sorts of articles floating around the cabins of the various spacecraft that Bullock visited. Where was the Velcro when the crew needed it? All in all, a very enjoyable movie.
