Dr. Ryan Stone and
Matt Kowalsky are working on a mission to repair the Hubble telescope. Dr. Stone is installing a system she
invented and she is a brilliant bio-engineer on her first trip. Kowalsky is in command of his last
flight before retiring. Suddenly,
they get a warning from Houston that a Russian satellite has blown up and a massive
storm of space debris is heading their way. They lose communication and are hurtled loose from their
tethers. Dr. Stone is rolling over
and over in space and Kowalsky is headed out to retrieve her before she runs
out of oxygen.
This film is shown in
either 2D or 3D, at first I wanted to see it in 3D but then I was worried about
motion sickness. There is a lot of
spinning and the colors are very vivid.
A very different film with so much equipment reduced to nothingness and such
vastness in the universe. Interesting to see everyday objects floating in
weightlessness. 4* (I really liked this movie)
