Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney). On a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone, tethered to nothing but each other and spiralling out into the darkness. 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 farther out into the terrifying expanse of space.

I gave up pretty fast on this one. First Clooney's character was so annoying, and then there was all the screaming. At least we still have 2001 to go back to and enjoy. ( )

Space debris separates an astronaut from her shuttle.

Intense and impressive. I do have to say, contrary to every review I've read, that I think this would still be a great movie on a small screen. The giant IMAX spectacle is nice, but it's the suspense that makes the movie work. (And regardless of how well it's done, 3D is annoying.)
