Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side,” “The Proposal”) and George Clooney (“Up in the Air,” “Syriana”) star in “Gravity,” a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón (“Children of Men”).
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (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.
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.

'Gravity' is out in cinemas October 4 (US) and October 18 (UK).
Thats a terrifying situation for sure. Sort of like "Open Water" without the sharks. Though I do think Sandra Bullock sounds a bit too "panicky" in this trailer. Sure this is a dangerous situation, but I want to believe that astronauts would have undergone some kind of training exercise for what to do if you are separated from your craft.
ReplyDeleteIts a bit of a harsh divide when it comes to space horror movies. You want to capture vast and frightening possibilities of its sheer emptiness, yet astronauts are often the people we see going up there, and they're trained to deal with it.
