Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral, nearly silent descent into catastrophe that transforms into a meditation on human will and the fight to keep breathing, both literally and metaphorically. Watching it feels like being suspended in the void yourself.

"this film is visually beautifull"
"i wish i could have seen this in imax" are two reviews i saw and when actually watching it, it looks terrible.

not what i imagine my 1,900 film to be but aight.
gravity tries to make you feel like you are the one in space but past that, its extremely dull visually like i mentioned but also in its narrative if you can even call it that.
and again, cgi suits around real life actors doesn't work, especially in 2013.
it does achieve the tension it wants like maybe twice but then you remember there is no danger because you don't know these people.
there is no hook other then space is scary.
