Gravity

Gravity is not the most scientifically accurate movie I've ever seen - in fact there were many things that seemed obviously wrong to me, even though I took my last physics course ten years ago. However, it was also the most electrifying film I've ever seen, which was enough to make me not care about the science. I sat, chewing my knuckles in suspense, as Sandra Bullock's character, the lone survivor of a space shuttle accident, drifted through space, a hairsbreadth from death as she struggled frantically to grab onto something before a cloud of debris ripped a hole in her suit or she floated off to be lost in space forever. Set against the backdrop of an incredible CGI universe complete with realistic zero-gravity physics, Gravity was really a very small movie about one woman learning to push through her grief after a catastrophic loss. I was blown away and I would recommend this movie to anyone... unless they're about to go on a space mission.
