We took a trip through decades of the genre and came up with a list of the most important and best hard science fiction movies of all time. They are the essence and the foundations of the book of sci-fi rules that's still being written as we, the audience, become much more self-aware of our relationship with technology, the future, and whatever those two will bring.

Maybe you're thinking of interstellar. They got a lot of kudos for the work they did imagining what a black hole would actually look like.

I might be conflating them? I saw both for sure. The more I'm thinking about Gravity, the more I'm remembering stuff that pissed me off. I'm also remembering a book where a woman astronaut gets stuck out in space and has to throw something to move the other way - maybe it was in Sevenes? I don't know, I read a lot of SF and sometimes it runs together.

Could the book have been Gravity? There was an unrelated book with that title about a woman in space

Hmmm, no, I don't think so, but good guess
