It's probably overrated. Will i like it? Sure. Will i come out of the theater screaming THAT WAS BLOODY AMAZING!!! Probably not. I dunno, the trailers are interesting but they didn't make me jump on the hype train.
No. He keeps harping on "you feature space travel, you are sci-fi" nonsense. By that definition, we are living the sci-fi dream RIGHT NOW.
Btw, Gravity is not about science. Space just happens to be the setting.
Those liberties taken makes it fiction. It is based on a historical event but it's still fiction. And it's irrelevant anyway because sci-fi is not defined by whether the story is fictional. Gravity is not sci-fi because the setting is real, the technology is real. If Gravity would have taken place in deep space and they would have used technology that isn't available today, that would have made it sci-fi.
OMG! Space travel as in faster than light travel to different systems and such. Just because you actually travel a tiny bit amount through space in order to get to the ISS doesn't make that sci-fi *lol*.
Btw, it's quite remarkable how much picture you can get for a few hundred bucks (well, Euros) nowadays. I didn't want to spend a fortune on the TV as it's mainly for playing games. I'm planing to buy a 3D projector rather soonish (in time for the Hobbit extended edition) - that's the real deal .
