Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (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 the blackness.Written by

Goofs
During the scene where Ryan is moving towards the airlock of the ISS whilst under the risk of dying from carbon dioxide poising in her suit, Ryan begins to close the hatch as she enters her way into the pressurization chamber of the ISS airlock. but upon visual examination of this airlock in the moment she is blown back by its sudden opening, it appears to have the same chrome handle as it did on the outside as she cranks it open. when the scene changes upon closing the airlock. the airlock has visually changed, it no longer has a chrome crank handle.
And even more jarring is the fact it appears to be closed from the right side outside. but inside it is closed from the left. See more »

Amazingly shot by Mexican Alphonso Cuarran Gravity stars Sandra Bullock as an astronaut who suffers a problem in orbit and then must return back home any way possible. The cinematography and direction is amazing and the shots of the planet are humbling and scary at the same time. Of course, I know all this is CGI but it looks so real you'd be shocked. George Clooney also stars but he's barely in the film. Bullock is more than competent and carries the film though it is the visuals and the sequences of chaos that stay with you.
