The main thing that bothered me was that Clooney basically tells Bullock 
to point directly toward the Chinese module and hit the gas.

But:

1. Isn't it really hard to move between two locations in a straight line 
in Space, so close to a large body such as the Earth? Aren't successful 
orbital maneuvers really complicated, time-consuming and hard to pull off?
2. Wouldn't it take a really long time to cover the distance between two 
space stations at the rate she was moving in her suit (e.g. slow enough 
so she could stop herself by grabbing on with her hands, IIRC)? Or do 
space stations typically live within a few kilometers of each other?

Never got to see the movie in imax.
