Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first Shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky 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 the blackness of space. 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 at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

A Masterpiece!
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
So many flaws. Normally you don't see so many in films with such a small cast. I almost never give films a 1 out of 10, uaslly quite good at knowing if I'm going to like a film or not. Thought with the reviews the film had got I might give it at least a 4/10, how wrong I was.
She gets locked out and spends the rest of the movie trying to get back in again !
THE BEST MOVIE OF THE CENTURY, PERHAPS OF ALL TIME!
Gravity, in my opinion, is everything that is wrong with cinema today. The notion that a spectacle will more than make up for a void where a story should be is a ridiculous one, yet one that is employed time and again when making these 'blockbuster' films. I watched Gravity on a 15inch MacBook and it was so depressing that once it had ended I drank a bottle of cheap red wine mid afternoon and watched a weeks worth of Come Dine With Me so I didn't feel my whole Sunday was wasted. Would it have made the experience more enjoyable had the bits of satellite shrapnel floated around my front room and Sandra Bullock's heads up display really had been heads up? Probably. Would I have still got drunk and tried to forget about the whole thing afterwards? Definitely, only I wouldn't have had to wait until the morning to get a headache, cheers 3D. This film is painfully dull and yet it is set in space, the coolest location for a film in the world (joke). Just because you can CGI up a convincing globe doesn't mean that it's all I want to look at for two hours. Though arguably after the 110th thing goes wrong for whatever Sandra Bullock's character is called, and the film just becomes one long moan, you couldn't care less what you're looking at anyway.The point however is not that Gravity is poor, the point is that cinema has become a waste of time. I learned nothing from Gravity other than the Russians are stupid, the Russians drink Vodka in space, the Russians don't put fuel in their space craft, and the Russian space suits aren't as white as the American ones. What was happening on screen didn't matter as I couldn't have cared less about the two astronauts. I didn't believe that that many things could go wrong for one woman, I didn't believe the escape module would sink, I didn't believe they'd let an emotionally unstable woman in to space, and I certainly didn't believe that when Sandra Bullock stood up at the end it merited the drama of when Dr Grant first saw the Diplodocus in Jurassic Park. I didn't believe any of these things because not once was I invited to care, because this is a shallow film from a poor storyteller that suffices only to prove what a shallow and poor audience bankrolls modern cinema.One star, or infinite stars. Depending on how good your TV is.
