Johann, I happen to know you have an IMAX theater near you. I would suggest you see it there. The exteriors with the planet in background are spectacular to say the least. I know it's sacrilegious to speak of Kubrick in the same breath, but the same feeling of awe I had in 1968, I had with this film. I bought a popcorn and drink and never touched them. That was the fastest 90 minutes I ever spent in a movie theater.

I've been thinking about what Dr. Tyson said about renaming the film "Zero Gravity." However, there is a moment when gravity becomes all to apparent and that I believe is the point of the film. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. It's number one at BO for two weeks running and broke all October release records. Pay close attention to how sound is used as Cuaron, like Kubrick, was obsessed with being accurate.
