Watched Gravity last weekend, not bad.

While Gravity may have several moments with scientific and physics laws suspended, it must be a decent movie. It is science fiction and has a few Oscar nominations, if that means anything.
Sandra Bullock can make a movie at least watchable.
Sandra bullock is 49, and still a beautiful woman!
Re Gravity
The LA Times had it as the most over rated movie of 2013.
When science fiction plays with time travel, warp speed etc then that's fine. Gravity is more of a drama set in space.
SPOILERS........
There are so many (high school level) big physics screw ups and implausibilities that detract from the good special effects. The Hubble and space station are in different orbits about 150 miles difference in height. George coasts across with his back thruster LOL. Bullock in her role as a medical engineer fixing the Hubble and being able to operate a Soyuz space craft and it's Chinese equivalent is totally unbelievable.
The plot itself needs a dose of Gravity or else it would float away. At least the movie is only 90 minutes long.
Geeze Louise! It was a movie. It was fiction. It was drama for the purpose of entertainment. Build a bridge and get over it. The box office take disagreed with the LA times. I enjoyed it thoroughly even though I didn't buy any of the "science" for a moment. The only reason I was glad it was only 90 minutes was my aging bladder.
