Calm, still, going around its motions unoblivious of the rigmarole of human life surviving on it, Earth assumes a zen like quality and etheral beauty when seen from up there. Here though, we get a view of Earth from atop that very same device and its vantage point. The film begins with the duo repairing a device that helps man in relity view the outer space. Sandra Bullock and the director Alfonso create a film that is in the same breath a sci fiction thriller and a metaphorical look at the insiginficance of individuals in the bigger picture, of Life's tenacity to survive and well, live. The most striking thing about Gravity is that the film makes you feel, sympathise with and actually belive in a movie that otherwise would have been a soulless piece of computer graphics trudging along with a money fulled need to create a blockbuster. The film is about how Ryan finds her way back to earth, and to gravity. Both Ryan and Kowalski are thrown out into outerspace like floating nothings. Sandra is Ryan, a greenhorn space engineer out with Kowalski ( George Buzz Lightyear Clooney) on her maiden space mission, when they are told of Russian satelity having been destroyed and the debris heading their way to decimate whatever "life" they had there. Gravity, through some amazing CGI and stellar performances, drives home this contrast with an ease rarely seen. The switch happens, drwaing us into er inner world of chaos that is loud and noisy, much like earth, from the outer quiet chaos that the universe above us is. In one of the many rivetting sequences in Gravity, the camera, and with it our gaze, moves from the stark dead silence of outer space into the anxiety, fear and emotional turmoil inside Sandra Bullocks space helmet.

The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth.and any chance for rescue. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. Ryan Stone is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky in command of his last flight before retiring. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and.
