Plot - Two astronauts are stranded in space after a storm of space debris destroys their space craft. The debris is created by the chain reaction, occurred as a result of Russia destroying one of it's old satellites.
The story revolves around how the astronauts plan their way back to earth, in an acute shortage of life-sustaining resources.
Watch the trailer here:

The film has SCIENCE, WILDERNESS, PHYSICS REVISION, PHILOSOPHY, SACRIFICE and COURAGE in it.
I am writing this for those who have watched the film already. So don't expect me to tell the story.
The parts I liked the most was when the debris destroys the structures and the pieces of shrapnel come right towards you. ( Watched it in 3D, folks)
Around 7-8 times I tried to jerk my head back, to avoid the debris hitting me in the head with bullet speed.
One more scene that I liked was, when Ryan (Sandra Bullock) lies in the ISS escape probe ready to die in silence. But she hallucinates about Matt ( George Clooney) coming inside and asking her the question, "You lost your child. That's a pretty bad thing. So the point is- Is it worth living or just stay here and die silently? because that is also nice."
Also I find the death of Matt, quite interesting. I mean, how would it feel when you are going in a total void of space with no hope at all and you are constantly trying to encourage your fellow mate who may live.
It would be a great death. Watching the serenity of earth from outside after having achieved almost everything (he was a frequent astronaut, man!!!!), and doing a final act of sacrifice and still guiding your junior to life, and knowing that what a great impact, you would leave in her heart and your story will leave in rest of the world, while you die in absolute silence and peace.
AMAZING!!!!!
