Bullock and Clooney in tandem lost in space.

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2014)

A beautifully choreographed masterpiece from director Alfonso Cuardon. Definitely out of this world. Dr. Ryan Stone(Sandra Bullock)is a medical engineer on her maiden shuttle mission teamed with Commander Matt Kowalski(George Clooney), who just happens to be on his last space mission before retiring. A routine spacewalk to make repairs becomes everything but; when debris from exploding Russian satellites destroys the shuttle. Now Stone and Kowalski are totally alone tethered, floating through space with no contact with Earth at all. Oxygen is running out and a decision is made to try and get back to the destroyed shuttle and salvage a landing pod to get them to the nearest help...a Chinese space station. Things will go awry and now a lone survivor must ponder their place in the scope of things. In thoughtful desperation there must be a plan to make it back home.
Astonishing visuals. White knuckle tension. Breath grabbing anxiety. This Sci-Fi thriller also features the voices of Ed Harris, Phaldut Sharma, Amy Warren and Basher Savage. GRAVITY allows me a better appreciation of Bullock's talent. Clooney shows stability mixed with humor. Put this on your "don't miss" list.
