Title from web page.
Originally released as a motion picture in 2013.
Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris.
Dr. Ryan Stone is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky. On a seemingly routine spacewalk, the shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky spiraling out into the blackness. 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, and the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
Blu-ray, widescreen; requires Blu-ray player.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Castaway submitted by AprilCDB on July 12, 2014, 3:02pm Was like watching Castaway, but Bullock instead of Hanks and no Wilson.

Wow submitted by evalyn1600 on August 4, 2014, 9:33am I agree with the other review, it's like Castaway, but they are both great movies. Worth a watch! The scenes of Earth are breathtaking.

Gravity submitted by SBNB on August 7, 2014, 12:32pm It was better than I expected. I can see the comparison to Castaway, but Gravity has more action and more suspense. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised.

Gravity - An Must-See submitted by tree64 on August 31, 2014, 4:42pm This movie stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in a heart-pounding thriller that takes place outside Earth's atmosphere and in the mysterious realm of space. Sandra Bullock acts as Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer who is on her first space mission, with a veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski who is played by George Clooney. However, disaster strikes on a seemingly routine spacewalk. Debris from another destroyed space satellite causes the astronauts' shuttle to be destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - the rest of the crew has been killed. The movie tells of the two astronauts' journey to get back to Earth - the silence means that Mission Control is no longer in contact with them, and that they have lost all connection to Earth. Every breath of air takes away from the little supply of oxygen that they have left. However, the only way that they can get home is to venture even further into space.
I found this movie to be very exciting yet suspenseful. However, at first, it might seem a bit odd, because there are only a total of 5(?) actors in the movie, and only two main characters. This movie, thought meant to be entertainment, also teaches you quite a bit of basic information on how space stations work and what astronauts may have to do while in space. This movie opened my eye to how dangerous being in outer space truly can be, and I never truly appreciated the risks that astronauts take on each mission, no matter how simple or routine. This movie is something that you simply must see, and the way in which is it presented is very well-executed and eye-catching.

Love it submitted by yenkong on June 29, 2017, 11:08am A one person movie, Sandra Bullock gave us a great performance.

Cool submitted by cmarie2004 on August 24, 2018, 10:15am I'm the type to be annoyed during a movie because I think I would have done a better job than the character during a situation only to realize I would have been completely helpless! This was a great movie to only have one lead character. It also affirmed my belief that whatever is out there someone else can go look and come back to tell me about it ☺.

Gravity submitted by lstorc on July 28, 2019, 7:04pm Gravity lacks dimension and the ending is a disappointment. The acting is enjoyable.

Visually it’s great but story is not so bright submitted by bahr on July 9, 2023, 12:16am Gravity was a fun ride but there are some odd moments that take away from it. If you can maintain some sense of disbelief then it’ll be more fun for you. The acting was good, I just found the plot to be a little contrived. Still worth a watch though.
