A pair of astronauts, veteran Matt Kowalski (Clooney) and rookie Ryan Stone (Bullock) are on assignment in outer space to repair a satellite post and while enjoying the breath taking view, they encounter a severe meteor debris shower that puts them in survival mode. The couple, faced with limited oxygen and limited options must work together in an attempt to reach a neighboring space station that would allow them any possibility of getting back to Earth. But the clock ticks as they must decide on what they each must sacrifice to further the chance for their fight to live.
Reel Talk:
The visual graphics for this movie is off the chain and may I suggest that you see this in Imax for an even better experience. But after you get through the early stages of the visual effects and the intensity from their initial outer space catastrophe it just fizzles out. At some point it is left up to Sandra Bullock to carry the movie but it may have been a little too much for her to burden. This does not mean that this is a bad movie. It is a good movie just not a great movie like it is being billed. Worth checking out just don't go in with high expectations.
