It's a gorgeous film. The visual effects are great. But to call it realistic is an affront to reality. Physics and orbital mechanics just don't work like that.

I'll grant some leeway to films like Star Wars and Star Trek where the technology is, for the most part, just fantasy.

But Gravity? Nope. It just doesn't hold up.

And definitely not playing in the same league as The Martian.
