Gravity (2013)
Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first Shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky 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 of space. 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 for sci-fi lovers, it is for space lovers, it is for anyone who wants to be awed by the brutal nature of outer space. Amazingly shot by Mexican Alphonso Cuarran Gravity stars Sandra Bullock as an astronaut who suffers a problem in orbit and then must return back home any way possible. The cinematography and direction is amazing and the shots of the planet are humbling and scary at the same time. Of course, I know all this is CGI but it looks so real you'd be shocked. George Clooney also stars but he's barely in the film. Bullock is more than competent and carries the film though it is the visuals and the sequences of chaos that stay with you.
I have never seen a film that made space so terrifying.
The only aspect of this movie that stopped me from walking out of the theater halfway through was the visual effects. Other than that, this film had almost no story or character development and an awful script. Would you like me to summarize it for you? Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are astronauts who encounter an increasingly dangerous situation when on a routine mission in space. George Clooney dies, and then about every 20 minutes something new (very predictably) goes wrong. A frantic and overly emotional Sandra Bullock (very predictably) manages to work around each problem at the last possible second until she (very predictably) makes it back to Earth. The worst of all is when she seems to have "given up" and a dead George Clooney appears to her in some sort of corny hallucination and instructs her on how to escape her latest peril.This is movie is the epitome of what I hate about major Hollywood movies...extreme predictability riddled with fake "suspense." As a viewer, never did I once believe that the final outcome would be anything other than Sandra Bullock safely returning home. Without the stunning visual effects, this movie would be completely unwatchable. I will never understand how or why critics were so high on this movie, but this is just one of many terrible movies of the last decade to receive such undeserved acclaim.
These are such effects and space landscapes that are incredibly emotional in the man's sense of harmony and thinking ... Even if I add the very emotion that the film possesses, I come to the conclusion that Gravity is an absolute 3D Masterpiece!
