Gravity

directed by Alfonso Cuaron
It seems sadly obsessive amidst such a stellar deluge of special effects to hone in on a couple of minor ones using translucency, but I couldn't help noticing how reflections on the visors of the two protagonists (played by George Clooney and Sandra Bullock) at certain key moments rendered them translucent (as opposed to transparent) and so made their faces less substantial, fragile - which as the plot unfolded became more and more evident.  Ditto with the space module 'portholes'.
