Gravity

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. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. 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.

This was one of the most stunning visual movies I've ever seen.  The way that it was filmed made it feel as if you were out in space with Sandra Bullock.  The pacing of the movie between being out in space all alone and the beyond intense scenes of action when the orbiting shrapnel attacked the satellites made you go back and forth between total desperation and sitting on the edge of your seat.  And even though this movie was so well done artistically, they didn't get wrapped up in an overdone running time.  The movie was a perfectly paced/timed 90 minutes and the end result was easily one of the best movies of the year.

I would absolutely recommend everyone checking this out.  It is pretty much a must see and a truly excellent job of film making in every way.
