Not actually science fiction — and that’s a good thing.
On Friday, after a week of DayJob crap, I found I suddenly could not bear to wait until Tuesday (discount movie day at the local cinema) to see Gravity. I wanted outer space and I wanted it now.  And I was right there, passing by the theater! So Sabine and I caught the 7PM showing.
Because there will be so many spoilers, I’m going to put the rest of this post behind the “read more” fold.
But I’ll say right up front, for those who won’t go on to the next page:
You must see this film. It was brilliant, astonishing, heart-stopping, heart-rending, mind-bending.  Breathlessly real.
Also — and this is important — it was not science fiction.
