Much better than Gravity in terms of deux ex machina moments in the story. The soundtrack felt like it was trying to riff on Guardians of the Galaxy a little bit.
I paid for the overly expensive d-box seats, and this was not really an action movie, so I got to enjoy a gentle sway to the left and right for all of the space and martian landscape pans. It was very relaxing, a lot like a porch swing. This was intermingled with the occasional chair massage during rocket launches. The big advantage to the seats were that they were directly in the middle of the theater with an empty row in front, and unoccupied handicapped seating on either side. Add to that the decent beer offerings at the Scotts Valley cinema, and the snappy dogs our friends provided (see <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gtweekly.com/index.php/dining-wine/santa-cruz-dining-reviews/6934-garys-old-fashioned-snappy-dogs.html">http://www.gtweekly.com/index.php/dinin ... -dogs.html</a><!-- m -->), and the flask of a very decent whisky a friend had given me for my b-day last year, and we had a very nice time.
