Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2013)

At the USA Space Station above the earth, Ryan (Sandra Bullock) and her commander, Matt (George Clooney) are working to repair some mechanical problems. More specifically at this moment in time, Matt is trying to set a record for space-walking while keeping an eye on Ryan, who is on her first mission. Bad news arrives. Russia shot a missile into the sky and it hit another satellite, breaking it into bits. Now debris is headed for the USA station. Matt orders Ryan inside yet she is reluctant to leave a job almost done. As the waste comes at them, the station is destroyed, Ryan is hurled into space and Matt is loosely tethered to a part of the station. Yet, although the other crew members have died, all may not be lost for Ryan and Matt. First, the older astronaut rescues Ryan from flying off into space. Then, if the two can make it, space walking, to a Russian station nearby, they can fly one of the Russkies' shuttles home. It will not be easy but, they have a chance. On the way to their oasis, however, landing on the station becomes tricky. Soon, Matt is in jeopardy and he sacrifices himself for Ryan, knowing its the only choice. Scared to the core, what more must Ryan do to make it back to earth? How can she do it all by herself? Ah, but she may have inner resources left, ones she doesn't even know she has! This fabulous, unique film has to be seen, especially on a big screen. Its thrilling story is enhanced by spectacular performances, direction and cinematography. One truly does feel as weightless as the astronauts, during a view, and in just as much peril. Movies come and movies go, but you hav to see Grav-ity. What a thrill ride in space!
