Movie - Gravity (2013) [/]

Gravity is a space disaster film. While working on repairing a satellite astronauts Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), Lt Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), and three other space shuttle crew are caught by thousand-mph speeding debris filled from satellites being destroyed due to a anti-sat test.

Everyone is killed except for Stone and Kowalski who have to make their way to the International Space Station 100 km away and later when that fails a Chinese space station a similar distance away. Unfortunately Dr Stone will be alone for the second half of the movie and since this is her first mission she'll have to improvise and remember her recent training...

I watched Gravity when it first came out in a theater and it was a really good movie. It's still good though not as impressive on my iPad. There are many panoramic space scenes that don't translate well and this is a very visual story. It's not a perfect film but a nice space thriller that's still entertaining.
