Why the Scientific Inaccuracies of 'Gravity' Don't Matter
Written by Katie Marzullo. Published: December 03 2013
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a stickler for accuracy in movies. Especially biopics – if someone was fascinating enough to make a movie about in the first place, why would you screw around with historical fact?? Some exceptions can be made, depending on the film (winking at you, Hitchcock), but when a film is not based on true events but is ensconced within a scientific framework, the issue becomes a bit muddled. Case in point: Gravity.
