Lost in space, emerged out of a dirty lake.

I did not get the chance to watch this film at the cinema, but it's a good thing a lot of HD copies are uploaded online. Well, this entire films revolved around the story (or shall I say the epic space adventure) or just a few people. Basically Gravity is about american astronauts in outer space who were unexpectedly warned by the ground command post to abandon its mission because of the ill effects of a Russian mishap on the other side of space, involving their satellites. In an attempt to commence the evacuation or escape fast, they all end up on a freaking awful situation--literally lost in space. Well, then some of them die (actually all of them except the lead female star Sandra Bullock), who sought refuge from an abandoned Chinese space station and disembarked her way to the earth’s atmosphere. What is horrifying here is the freaking parachute that was attached to her escape vehicle--it turned out it won’t let Dr. Ryan leave the outside world. To add, she had a bad dream of Matt beside her on her near death moments. And who could ever forget the arf arf and all the woof woof barking she did? I find it awfully nonsense. Painfully, she plunged all the way down to a lake with frogs, and I thought she could have died from drowning, yet managed to escape a near death expo from outer space. In the end, she emerged out of the water, savouring the earth and air and seems to be elated that she is still alive. Hmm, 7.5/10 for me. I just don't know, it feels like there’s something wrong with this movie. Maybe the characters were just so few. The lesson of the story: Learn chinese language and writing; coz’ if she did, it could have saved her from a painful dump into the lake. Buddha was there watching her all the time. 

Summary:

Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
