The storm of wreckage also collides with transmission satellites around the globe, causing telecommunication blackouts down on Earth and leaving the astronauts flying blind. The rubble knocks loose the space arm Ryan is attached to and sends her careening through space. The metal shards rip the ship apart instantly killing the payload crew inside and blasting a hole through Shariff’s helmet and face. They, along with Shariff (another crew member played by Paul Sharma), are outside the shuttle making repairs when the ship is bombarded with space debris from a detonated satellite. George Clooney takes on the role of astronaut Matt Kokwalski, a man with swagger and a hint of sexism. Sandra Bullock plays medical engineer Ryan Stone in a role that puts her on a trajectory for another Oscar. This is one thrill ride that gives audiences new awe for space-and the dangers that lurk there. And frankly after watching what happens, all I can say is thank goodness for that. Abbie Cornish, Marion Cotillard, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Blake Lively, Carey Mulligan, Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, and Olivia Wilde were also considered.Gravity is as close to space as most of us will ever get. Natalie Portman turned down the role shortly after her pregnancy was announced.

It manages to show how dangerous a space mission can really be and how it's hard to be in outer space.The film really makes the viewer emotional as Dr.George Clooney gives off a great performance too. She manages to convince the viewer into making them think she's an astronaut. Wonderful performance from Sandra Bullock.The visual effects are extremely realistic and convincing, as it was all converted into 3D.

Because of the cinematography, the film looks like it was filmed in outer space, giving in more realism.It also manages to feel as non-claustrophobic as possible.

This makes you feel like you're really in outer space when you watch this in a dark room and manages to pull the viewer into the movie's world. Extremely beautiful and dazzling cinematography.As fear turns to panic, they realize that the only way home may be to venture further into space. Then, during a routine spacewalk by the pair, disaster strikes: The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Ryan and Matt stranded in deep space with no link to Earth and no hope of rescue. Her commander is veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), helming his last flight before retirement. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission.
