I watched Gravity movie last week. It was amazing with all those good visual effects, music and the actors had done a very good job. I can say compared to usual Hollywood movies that portray violence and sex, this is 100 times better and a must see for everyone.
Even people without English knowledge can understand. This will trigger interest about astronomy and science among children. Also, the movie has no unwanted scenes and very short, yet delivered the content what they wanted to deliver the audience.
But movies are not textbooks. So we should not assume whatever they show in that movie are 100% real. So there are many inaccuracies in the movie. Let me tell you some.
1. Russians never struck their own satellites with missiles, but Americans did in past.
2. Not all space-stations/satellites orbit in same altitude. So the chances for the events shown in the movie are very remote.
3. It is quite impossible to navigate large distances using MMUs. They were not in use for more than two decades. There is no need to separately say that fire-extinguishers can't do the job any better.
4. Where are the crew of Chinese space station?
These are all really minor errors or details overlooked explicitly to spice-up the movie. But the movie is so good. I have some friends who deny moon landing and say they are all made up videos. If they watch this movie, they will conclude men never traveled to space and everything about space is just computer generated effects! :)
