My friends at Warner Brothers invited me and a couple hundred other folks to a screening last night on the lot of the new Alfonzo Cuaron film Gravity. I don’t make it my habit here to review movies, but I have to say, it’s a spectacular movie. The special effects are spectacular, and the action is 100% filled with grabbity and doesn’t let go. I would say the most astounding special effect is 50-year-old Sandra Bullock’s perfect figure, except that’s for real. There are some scientific slips — not to spoil anything, but in the one scene the one astronaut wouldn’t be pulling the other into danger because at the moment there’s no force and no gravity — but if you notice these, please ignore them. It’s a fantastic film, and the sort of one that encourages seeing in the movie theatre.
