"Gravity" made history this weekend as it defied industry expectations and shot to No. 1 at the box office, posting the highest October opening ever ($55.6 million).
Much has been made of the film, both critically and by audiences, for its revolutionary use of technology. Making stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney appear to float weightlessly through space after a shuttle disaster required director Alfonso Cuaron and his team to invent techniques to complete the task.
Their work, and Cuaron's eerie vision for the film, promptedJames Cameron to proclaim "Gravity" the "best space film ever done."
That's high praise considering the caliber of space films over the years -- and the devotion they've stirred in fans. Space might not be the final cinematic frontier, but it certainly is an audience favorite.
