The movie is about a space mission gone wrong and one relatively inexperienceed astronaut's fight to get back to the little blue planet. Sandra Bullok plays Dr' Ryan Stone and George Clooney plays Matt Kovalsy. The movie begins with the astronauts performing spacewalk. The opening 5 minutes of the movie will leave you absolutely stunned. The graphics and 3d is so amazing that you might actually believe that you are watching space through a winddow. While the astronauts are apacewalking, Dr. Ryan is trying to install one of her systems outside the explorer. Then they get news that a russian missile collision with one of their own satellites has created a lot of debri in space which is revolving around the earth at high velocity.
The crew is assured that they are not to worry as the current trajectory of the particles thus generated will not cross their position in space. But a few minutes late they are told that due to the impact of the debri on other satellites a chain reaction was set off and now the debri thus generated was in their course. And then it hits them, leaving an astronaut dead and destroying the Explorer. Then, the movie takes us through how Dr. Ryan finally makes it back to earth.
The ammzes me for three reasons:
1. the quantity of research that must have went into making the movie. The attention to detail makes you squael with delight at times and leaves you with your jaw hitting the floor.
2. The 3D-The view of earth from space. The detailing of hundreds of particles flying about and hitting each other, the spaceships.
3. The acting. It's tough acting with a green screen, but to do it while imagining zero gravity. That must have been one hard job.
Anyway, I loved this movie all the way.
