On now. Murphy pops up big here; if it can go wrong it will.
Some of the emergencies and escapes are a bit contrived, but MY GOD the cinematography is fantastic. The scene where the debris cloud hammers the ISS is phenomenal. Pretty good science in the zero-G effects. |

You no like Sandra half naked?  Quoted:

A pretty good movie overall. I wish the ending was better though. You no like Sandra half naked? She is wearing a shirt and shorts, your definition of half naked is different from mine. That boy haircut though

Best sci fi I've seen in a very long time. Wait...are you talking about gravity, Gravity the movie, or the movie "Interstellar" in which gravity played a central role, along with the character Murphy? The Sandra Bullock movie. Interstellar, while interesting, bordered on being too touchy feely for me. And I'll say it again: You've just landed on a water planet BARELY outside the event horizon of a black hole, you have calculated the time dilation relativistic effect, but you DON'T EVEN CONSIDER the tidal effects? C'mon, man. That and McConaughey's blithe comment about how he can just swing the ship around a neutron star to decelerate. Not to mention that the tidal effects would pretty much rip apart the plant to begin with and he better hope that neutron star isn't spinning or his orbit ain't gonna be nothin' like what he expects. |

Pretty good science in the zero-G effects. Mysteries of #Gravity: Why Bullock's hair, in otherwise convincing zero-G scenes, did not float freely on her head. Mysteries of #Gravity: When Clooney releases Bullock's tether, he drifts away. In zero-G a single tug brings them together. Mysteries of #Gravity: How Hubble (350mi up) ISS (230mi up) & a Chinese Space Station are all in sight lines of one another. Mysteries of #Gravity: Nearly all satellites orbit Earth west to east yet all satellite debris portrayed orbited east to west Mysteries of #Gravity: Satellite communications were disrupted at 230 mi up, but communications satellites orbit 100x higher. |

Gravity had absolutely stunning visuals, but was a lot more fiction than science.
The reason NASA first cancelled the final Hubble repair mission was that it was impossible to get from Hubble's orbit to the ISS if the thermal tiles on the shuttle were damaged. The mission was only later reinstated due to pressure from scientists and the public. The EVA from the wrecked shuttle to ISS is not just difficult, but impossible as it would require much more fuel than any backpack thruster system could provide. I consider Gravity to be like Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in that most of the movie was a dream sequence inside of the dying stars head. Since it is impossible for her and her commander to travel from the shuttle to ISS, that means they didn't. Instead, she died slowly outside of the shuttle as her oxygen ran out while dreaming of a one-in-a-million chance of survival that was in fact no chance at all. |

How can you possibly say all that after sayingy gravity had great zerog effects???????.? |
