After winning a Golden Globe for Best Director, Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity will be returning to theaters this weekend.  In case you missed the buzz-worthy sci-fi thriller, you'll now be able to experience it on the big screen.  It's no coincidence that the 86th Annual Academy Awards' nominations list will be unveiled this Thursday either.  As Adam has expressed in his Oscar Beat column, Gravity, its director, and star Sandra Bullock will likely be up for some major awards.  So whether you missed it the first time, you're curious about all this awards talk, or you just want to see it in the theater again, this weekend's your big chance!

Hit the jump for Gravity's trailer, synopsis and poster.

Here’s the synopsis for Gravity:

Sandra Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George 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.
