| NintendoPie said: Gravity was the movie of 2013. It will define last year in film forever. The Directing, Cinematography, Visual Effects, and story line were all pretty much perfect. When a movie transports you into the actor's situation as well as Gravity did, that's worthy of extreme praise. There's no denying that Gravity is a complete spectacle. |
Gravity was not terrible, they got a lot of things right, but they had some very serious math problems. For a movie based on orbital mechanics, I don't think they pulled out a calculator once. A cascading debris failure is possible, but here is the thing most non polar orbit satelites orbit in the same direction, meaning the periodicity of the debris field was all wrong. American space suits fitting through russian doors, poppy cock. A 13 degree orbital change not at an acending or decending node using only soft landing boosters, pure fantasy (a few hundred m/s delta v will get you no where near that). And what pray tell caused the chinese station to fall from orbit so quickly.... unless they scuttled the thing (no evidence of that) it is also fantasy. It takes an hour to get out of a space suit by yourself. The orbital alignments were impossible. Jetpacks don't have that much fuel. Clooney letting go after they stopped stupid... just plain stupid what pray tell was then pulling on him in micro gravity after the interial force had been overcome? Jesus? or jus deus ex machina?
I enjoyed 12 years a slave more, it is at least based on real people and events. The events depicted in gravity could never happen, ever!
It was pretty cinamatography.
