When everything goes wrong that possible can go wrong on a space mission, this is the movie. This movie is very intense, as the space craft is subject to a massive space debris collision. The ship is torn apart, and so our two surviving astronauts must space walk to a space station, with depleting oxygen. One (George Clooney) gives himself up to get the other (Sandra Bullock) to the station. It is not in much better shape. She boards a vehicle to get away, but it gets caught on wires and a chute. She finally gets free, but discovers no gas. When things are desperate she reaches out and talks with an Inuit. Even though she can't communicate she gets hope from a baby crying, and from the dogs howling. She is ready to give up, but with the help of the ghost of Clooney, she burns the gas reserved for breaking to get free. She is headed for the Chinese space station. She gets there but the debris also gets there. She pretty much falls to earth.
This movie is very tense as lives are in danger through out. It does show the need for connection and the will to survive. The special effects are great. I do not know how they replica zero gravity and the spinning and everything. I would recommend it to others.
