In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. A man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
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.

The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. Written by

It is hard for most people to understand the difficulty in being in orbit trying to reach another object in orbit. Accelerating an object in the direction of travel will actually not move you forward. Instead the energy is used up raising the object's altitude, where it will have a slower orbital speed and therefore actually move "backwards" in orbit. Accelerating "up," "down" or "backward" would have other results that most people wouldn't expect. For Stone to directly aim at the Chinese space station in its own independent orbit and accelerate in that direction would give results that are unpredictable given our lack of knowledge of both orbits, but most definitely would not result in her getting to where she wants to go.

The director thanks his mother during the end credits, in Spanish: "a mi mamá, gracias". See more »
Seriously... my 4 stars are 2 for acting, 2 for special effects.
Dialog get's more or less 0, because it sounds like it was hashed out in about 10 minutes.
I'd normally save the rest for plot, but there was none... If you watch the trailer, and I tell you that she survives.. you would then be able to convince anybody else who's seen it that you'd seen it too.. I'm sure plenty of people will say that's an exaggeration but I promise it's not..
If you meet anybody who says it's good, try this out for yourself and see if it works!
The special effects are amazing, but it's like the icing on a missing cake - you have to have substance first. Bear in mind I'm a huge fan of movies like inception and the matrix, movies which some would accuse of being more special effects than plot - but this takes the biscuit.
I'll say no more, because the trailer plus the inevitable ending speaks for itself.
