Movie - Gravity (2013)

When I first saw the trailer for Gravity, I was not interested in watching the movie. After all, listening to Sandra Bullock screaming for two hours didn't seem like a sustainable plot device.

Quick movie summary as follows:

1. Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) visits the space station as a mission specialist to complete critical work on the Hubble Telescope.  
2. Stone and another mission specialist conduct a spacewalk to perform maintenance/upgrades on the telescope while veteran astronaut and mission commander, Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) joyrides through nearby space with his new jetpack.
3. All three are advised that the Russians have destroyed a spy satellite via a missile strike and the resulting debris will impact them in short order.  The debris kills all of the individuals within the space shuttle and the mission specialist that accompanied Ryan on the spacewalk. 
4. Stone and Kowalski are stranded in space and need to determine how to get home (here's to hoping the International Space Station is still working).

I'm glad I saw the movie.  Bullock gave an amazing performance and was not nearly as annoying as she could have been.  The screaming was kept to a minimum and the time went by quickly since I was immersed in the story.  An amazing work that is enhanced by IMAX and 3D.  I normally am irritated by 3D but this movie did a good job of using it without overwhelming the viewer.

I give this movie five stars out of five.
