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 MuTaTeD

Much of what I saw in the film THE MARTIAN and loved could
also be found in the film GRAVITY. Drama, suspense, and action they were all
there and yet the things that struck me the most was this idea of problem
solving. In each film the problem to solve was getting home admits dire
straights like being left on Mars, as in THE MARTIAN, or as in GRAVITY getting
home after an aborted mission. Whether these are scientifically proven ideas in
the film I don’t know. What I do now is when faced with a problem and looking
at your options and deciding to make an effort in the direction of a solution no
matter how impossible I think is a great lesson to learn and makes for a great
film. So for GRAVITY I give it 4 stars.
