Gravity
Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first
shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in
command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine
spacewalk, disaster strikes.
The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone –
tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into darkness. The
deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance
for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away what little
oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the
terrifying expanse of space.
Critic Reviews:
- " With its themes of spirituality, religion, birth, rebirth and hope,
Gravity is a film that will move audiences in different ways. That's the beauty
of it; it transcends genres, generations and time, a modern classic. " –
Candice Frederick
- " A survival drama set almost entirely in the unfathomable abyss of
outer space, Gravity is something now quite rare – a truly popular big-budget
Hollywood movie with a rich aesthetic pay-off. " – J.
Hoberman
- " It is a big, bold picture that refuses to be timid, and it left me
trembling. It's not just a film; it's something that happens to you.
" – Jason Bailey
