Gravity is a fairly straightforward action-thriller. For what it is, it's brilliant. It's also not what Vic is looking for in a movie. What's the problem?

Yep! :)
Saw this at the local new IMAX over the weekend, which turned out to be LieMAX, but oh well. The image was bright enough and big enough.
