Gravity reviewed

Gravity is the best movie I've seen in a long time.  I don't recommend that you wait for this to come out on DVD, because this is the sort of movie that should be seen on a big screen.  

The movie opens to a beautiful shot of astronauts at work near the Hubbel telescope making some repairs.  Disaster strikes as the area is showered with debris and the space shuttle is destroyed.  What follows is some of the most convincing shots of people navigating in zero gravity I've seen yet, as well as some really breathtaking shots of objects spinning in space while terrified astronauts try to catch hold and survive.

Interestingly, Buzz Aldrin liked the movie but his one criticism was that the pictures of Earth were too clear.  In reality more of the Earth would have been obscured with clouds or difficult to see.  I think I can live with the unrealistic clarity.
