Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially announced the 2D and 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack release of acclaimed filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, which stars Best Actress Oscar nominee Sandra Bullock, George Clooney and Ed Harris. The visually captivating film has been nominated for ten Academy Awards (among them Best Picture and Best Director), and arrives on Blu-ray on February 25th.
Synopsis: Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney) in command. But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone, tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the darkness. The deafening silence tells them they've 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, and the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
Gravity has become one of the most honored films of the year, garnering ten Academy Award nominations. The film has also received 11 BAFTA Award nominations and 10 Critics' Choice Award nominations, both including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress (Bullock). Cuarón recently received a Golden Globe Award for Best Director. Gravity has also won Best Picture awards from several prestigious critics organizations, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and has been included on 395 critics' and critics groups' top ten lists, as well as being named one of the AFI's ten best films of the year. It was also announced as the year's best reviewed film by Rotten Tomatoes.
