Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (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.

Visually excellent, but all in all a fairly run of the mill survival story at heart. It’s no Castaway, it’s no Apollo 13. Not hitting those heights doesn’t mean it’s a failure, but there is something not quite there. The fear, intelligence, helplessness, ingenuity… they are all kind of missing. There’s more than a little success by blind luck, which perhaps stopped me from being completely invested. Style, lots. Substance, a little. Gravitas, less.
