The movie could have been much better with more twists and turns but nevertheless it was a visual experience.
The silence of space was spell-bounding. George Clooney was at his best as always.
As I remember the dialogue from the movie Gladiator "Death always smiles at you, the best you can do is smile back it". This summarizes the way Clooney smiles at the tough situations in space.
The film starts with a little screw driving at one of the space stations where clooney , and sandra bullock( I am not a big fan of her , they could have got someone else but choose her because she fits in action sequences) chit chatting with each other.
The message comes that Chinese (the lunatics) have exploded their satellite and the particles will come to hit them. As always the lady does not listen to the commands of the clooney mission commander to abort the task.
What happens next is their another partner jumping in the space get shot by the particles and both the Hero-Heroine are into space drifting.
The hero tries to contact her through radio and tells her the plan to reach safely at earth. She abides and tries to reach at the international space station. Again she gets the chance to save clooney but the titanic movement comes where hero chooses to die and save the heroine with a promise to survive.
The lady after a little drama and space action of particles and some fire reaches on earth safely.
The movie could have been a masterpiece had the focus would have been on story telling. But if you want to see how beautiful earth looks from space. A little discovery channel type program of life in space you may watch the movie.
Those who hate sci-fi may please avoid.
