Better than Gravity
At least this wasn't hyped up as some sort of mega blockbuster. Watched Gravity once and that's enough. It's a little easier to believe four former astronaut candidates can get into space with the help and support of all of NASA than it is to believe a lone superwoman can make her way down from orbit without any help. It's also a lot more fun to watch the interactions between the characters than watch one person talking to herself, even if Tom Hanks did manage to make a similar solitary situation more entertaining in Castaway. I can't even remember what her big personal secret was that we were supposed to care about. Plus, the CGI of 2000 wasn't far off from the CGI of 2013.
