Directed by
Alfonso Cuarón.
This has
been a busy semester so far, filled both with professional duties and with
personal stuff. I'm quite a ways behind in blogging, but I'm going
to try to get caught up. I may end up having to resort to a “Quick
Hits” post for some, but I really want to give this movie its own
separate consideration, albeit not very long or in depth.
Last
weekend, on the second day of its general release, my wife and I went
to the matinee showing of Gravity,
starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I'm always up for a
realistic near-future space movie, and based on the previews I saw
over the past few weeks, I could tell that this one would be about as
realistic as they come, right up there with Apollo
13,
and that if anything would be worth subjecting myself to 3D (a format
I can usually do without) it would be Gravity.
And the billed actors were enough to get my wife to go with me.
