Definitely some flaws in the physics, but damn, it's a movie and I was very entertained. If we're pointing out flaws, I'll point out that as she's trying to get into the Chinese station the atmosphere is ripping parts of the station off and creating massive amounts of drag on it, but doesn't seem to affect her at all.
I'll buck the trend here though and say I love Sandra Bullock. The fact that she has kind of a funky nose is just an endearing trait to me and sets her apart from some of the too-perfect people Hollywood passes off as normal. I would take her home and introduce her to my parents.
Finally saw this last weekend (I wanted to make sure I watched this in 3D). I'll agree with a lot of the points already posted. Amazing 3D and visuals, Sandra did a really good job in her part, Clooney = meh. A lot of liberties taken with the laws of physics and apparently all of the space stations/satellites are all on the same plane and only a few hundred miles apart until they get turned into shrapnel.
There were definitely some edge of your seat scenes. I love the one when Sandra's outside the Soyuz trying to detach the chute. You can see debris start to fly by in the background for quite some time before she starts to notice it. The debris just looks like quick little flicks on the screen as the pieces go by at a few thousand mph. I thought that was some pretty cool cinematography right there. The Space Station breakup was incredible.
