Roger This!

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2014)

Excellent movie. It's the fastest 90 minutes in movie history. This movie keeps you so wrapped up in what's happening that before you take your first breath, you're halfway through the movie. Sandra Bullock plays Ryan Stone, an astronaut caught in orbit due to Russian space debris disabling the space shuttle. (Those dang Russians!) George Clooney plays Matt Kowalski, her fellow stranded astronaut. Theirs are the only two faces you will see the entire movie. Which is astounding in and of itself. The sound and visual of the movie is fantastic, they do a great job making you feel like you're there. The writers do a great job of making sure nothing is easy for our heroine, Ryan. She has to struggle each step of the way. I loved the fetus shot of Ryan as she slept briefly. and when she was stepping out of the water at the end, I got the impression of humans rising from the primordial ooze.
