Gravity
Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer, is on her first Shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The Shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness of space. 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.

This is basically my ideal sci-fi film. Doesn’t massively compromise on the science and features astronauts being all astronaut-y and working the problem (and boy do the problems keep coming).
There’s not a huge amount of plot, and while Sandra Bullock definitely isn’t terrible she doesn’t quite hit it out of the park, but the film is still a super enjoyable and tense 90 minutes.
