Can science and spirituality go hand in hand?

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2014)

Enough been said about the impressive visuals and acting of the movie. What I think is undermined is the message that the movie try to convey to the viewer: To continue and fight in the face of a continuous and fervent adversary. Here the adversary is the void space and we learn that it's such a dangerous (yet mesmerizing) place.
We can NOT call gravity a very scientific movie. For instance traveling between shuttles and space stations is not possible because they orbit on different altitudes and inclinations.
On the other hand, the movie is deeply spiritual. I invite the viewer to note these incidents and try to connect them to the moments they happen:
1- Matt Kowalski (played by George Clooney) talks about Ganges, a holy river in Hinduism: "you should see the sun on the Ganges, it's amazing" at a very decisive part of the movie.
2- We see a painting of Saint Christopher (the saint of protection) in Soyuz capsule (these capsules are the only saviors in the space).
3- We see Buddha status in the Chinese Shenzhou (again in the capsule).
4- The appearance of Matt Kowalski in Soyuz capsule.
P.S. I think this is the first time I've seen Sandra Bullock not getting naked in a movie. kinda disappointing as she promised us some action with Clooney :)
