I liked the photography and basic premise, the execution was off. It was too flippant in the beginning, hamfisted in dialog, and should have been more Apollo 13 in execution. With the cliches I am surprised they did not play Major Tom in the sound track.
Also, in space, the getting really sleepy from O2 starvation is a one-way trip. Once you start hallucinating about your dead partner, it doesn't matter how much he tells you to wake up, you are already never going to wake up.
I was watching the final scene where she is on Earth in a swamp, thinking that this would be a good time for a crocodile attack. The Earth isn't much safer than space.

DeleteShe seemed inordinately whiney for an astronaut.
ReplyDeleteIn space no one can hear you whine…
DeleteShe looks like a non-chubby Lena Dunham there.
ReplyDeleteThat may be the meanest thing you have ever said.
DeleteA lotta guys are married to women built like that.
DeleteIf she weren't such a Lefty ditz, I'd don't think we'd be that annoyed.
Body type is not what I was criticizing, what make Lena Dunham ugly is what is on the inside. Although compared to Amanda Marcotte, she is a beauty.
DeleteYou nailed it.
DeletePS Bullock is one of The Blonde's faves.
Gravity: It's like Open Water, but in outer space...!
ReplyDeleteThat was Flight MH370 (okay I denounce myself)
