No, but I've just got to see it now. I've heard about how they did that gun battle scene, going through the wrecked bus etc. There are some other cracking good sequences in Gravity, such as this one: SPOILER ALERT
Ryan Stone makes it to the Chinese station:
Note the detail of the extiguisher residue on the camera lens (your 'visor' on the action)
I love the scene at the end with Ryan howling with the man on the radio. Watching here fingers flexing , just a magical moment.

I saw that (and Mr Clooney earlier in the film) and just thought of this!:

If it is aviation scenes you want, then this takes some beating:
Hollywood often, and quite rightly, get slated for making mistakes, but, every so often, they produce a gem of a film, either by design or unwittingly that becomes a historical document in it's own right, even before the film has been released!
This is such a gem!
Looking at times like something straight out of Thunderbids, Ladies and Gentleman, I introduce to you, the predecessor of the B52, a plane that was the last of the great U.S. WW2 design bombers, a plane that was America's nuclear deterrent in the '40s and '50s, a plane that had both propellers AND jet engines, a plane so large it was nicknamed the 'Aluminium Overcast', and a plane that was due for retirement even as this film was released, I give you, the one, the only Convair B36 Peacemaker of the Strategic Air Command!!
What would otherwise have just been a footnote in aviation history got the Hollywood treatment, and in Technicolour too! ..... And yes, the propellers really were on backwards!!
Sit back and turn up the volume!!

...... And their (very smokey) replacements a few years later.
Not exactly as graceful, are they??
Crank up the volume and hear that roar!!:

Please return soon thy beauty!!
Ok, so a patchy series of all the Concorde scenes, but you get the jist. Oh and catch the Air France A300 (I think) at 8.47 too!:

The sad irony is that that was the actual Air France Concorde that crashed over 20 years later.
