Movie review Monday: Gravity

Today was such a treat. I had the day off, and James' child care was open, so I had the entire day to myself! This happens rarely, so I took advantage of it.

My girl friend, Katie, and I went shopping, had lunch, and saw a 1:30pm matinée! It was glorious. The movie was good. However, I found myself wanting more after all of the hype. Not to say Sandra didn't nail it, but I noticed myself thinking 'this is Sandra Bullock' rather than being "lost" in her character. That's probably because the movie didn't spend any time developing the character, but that's okay, I don't think that was the point. As an amateur space enthusiast, I enjoyed the thought provoking nature of the story line's setting. I have to say, although it may be a bit of a SPOILER ALERT (not a bad one), one of my favorite parts of the movie was an analogy made at the end about evolution. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts, if you've seen it!
