Want to see a movie that makes me feel instantly claustrophobic and scared of heights? The trailer for the new George Clooney/Sandra Bullock space thriller, Gravity has arrived.
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (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.

I now have “Gravity Rides Everything” by Modest Mouse stuck in my head. :)

“When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don’t see you float away”
The plot reminds me of the Ray Bradbury short story, “Kaleidoscope.”
