I was thinking of giving that a go myself until I read the reviews, I think I'll skip it.

I watched a favourite sci-fi film last night: Gravity (George Clooney, Sandra Bullock).
Absolutely brilliant! The vfx are incredible and the sound design is even better.

I can't really describe the story as it revolves around one event and that would be a spoiler.

If you haven't got it already, it's well worth buying the blu ray for the extras.
It's got one of the best "making of" documentaries I've ever seen.

Everyone appears to rave about the film "Gravity". Clearly I am a philistine .... I went to the pictures to see this when it came out and almost fell asleep I was so bored.

Nice special effects of earth-from-space and lots of technological gadgetry but after about 15 minutes of that I'd lost the sense of wonder and I grew impatient with the continual disasters and MacGyver-type workarounds of the two astronauts.

Sorry!

Having watched 300 a couple of nights ago, I continued with another Frank Miller adaptation: Sin City .

Gritty, brutal and at times and corny (but in a good comic book way), I love this film... it's a proper old fashioned film noire with larger than life characters.
Tonight's viewing? Sin City 2 of course :D

I guess "Gravity" didn't have enough fancy-smancy colors and not enough explosions.

Besides, it had the veneer of being scientific, but they got so much wrong at the price of continuing a plot detached from physical reality (e.g. when they sacrificed the principle of inertia to play on the audiences emotions). "Gravity" movie would've been much better if it was actually scientific.
Never drop a valuable item.

Nahhhh, if I want accurate science I'll watch a documentary.

I liked Gravity a lot. Yes, it's slow, but I found it incredibly tense, even though I'd seen it before.
