If you liked Apollo 13 then this is the film for you

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2013)

Gravity is compelling, mesmerizing and at times terrifying. This unusual film tells the story of two astronauts, Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalski (George Clonney) who are adrift in space after a dreadful space accident. But don't be fooled this is no simple "floating in space" story. The film is a wild ride of; superb effects, a high class script and stand-out acting , particularly by Bullock who would surely count this as one of the most challenging roles of her career. It has shades of Apollo 13 but without much of the technical detail. Some parts do appear to be slightly unbelievable but the ideas about the initial accident are based on real scientific theory. People will tell you that you have to see it in 3d but I accidentally booked a 2d session and it was still fabulous. My only tip, don't bring any popcorn because it will still be sitting on your lap untouched and cold as the credit rolls in.
