Gravity + Other Gravity
- 8PM
Directed by Alfonso Cuarón
2013, 91min, DCP
Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney) in command. But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space. “Shows us the glory of cinema’s future” (Time).
"An overwhelming physical experience—a challenge to the senses that engages every kind of dread."
—David Denby, The New Yorker
