IMDb看電影學英文

災難片總是Hollywood拍不膩的主題，內容也永遠是人類不想面對的問題，但是無論如何都還是會捂起臉來偷偷看，因為在人類用力地摧殘地球、過度發展科技的陰影下，大自然的反撲與無預期，勢在必然啊！

到底有沒有外星人在這顆美麗的星球外面呢？有沒有可能再找到一顆如此呵護我們的星球呢？有沒有可能有朝一日，人類到大氣層外去可以像坐飛機到日本韓國一樣輕鬆？外太空真的好神秘！Gravity的導演在電影一開始，就用了很不一樣的角度來展現，地球、太空人及外太空的重疊交錯的星際影像，真的是要令人落淚了，看了這麼廣大的無限空間，突然覺得自己好渺小，從外面往裡面看，也同時再度被地球的美麗給震撼到了。如果不能夠好好珍惜這個堪稱完美的球體(唯一不完美應該是人類吧～)，想到有可能要帶著氧氣面罩過一輩子，就好喪志喔！(整個很容易被災難片拐騙的小編)
