Overall, it's excellent--5 stars. Bullock is excellent, and Clooney is very good in a lighter (...ahem...) role.
It's an superb story of human survival in space, recorded spectaculary. 3D added depth to some scenes, a few dramatically, but it looks VERY good in 2D.
I'll see it again.
Too bad it wasn't recorded in 2.35 AR.

...by scientist Neil DeGrasse Tyson:
Why doesn't Bullock's hair float weightlessly when she does?
Why is an MD on a Hubble repair mission?
1. Hair gel
2. Not just an MD per se but apparently a medical engineer type who has developed an optical device first used in human medicine and now being installed on Hubble (per conversation in first scene).
Howcome the Hubble, International Space Station and a Chinese space station are in sight lines of one another?
How come when Clooney releases Bullock's tether, he drifts away. In zero-G a single tug brings them together.
Most all satellites orbit east to west. In the film the satellite debris came from west to east.
1. Chinese station was not within site of Hubble, 100 miles from ISS. They must be within jetting distance because if they're not, no happy ending.
2. Got me, don't remember the details of this one.
3. I actually thought debris was traveling east to west.
It' s been a week since I saw it y'know.
Since it is all relative up there.. the 'wrongway' debris would simply have to be going slower than the otheer group to seem to come from the wrong way.
I am AMAZED the physics guy dropped the ball on that.
What Elizabeth said. :-)
Also, "up and down" as we think of it planetside doesn't apply for this sequence - or in fact for much of the movie. It's shot and edited to be disorienting in certain scenes.

...Did you gain any new "insights" from a 2nd viewing. Or just a guilty pleasure?
