Gravity
Stars: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris, Orto Ignatiussen
This sci-fi drama about two astronauts who attempt to survive in space after an accident offers nonstop peril and action on an intergalactic scale. Imagine floating in space sans a ship, in just your space suit. Angelina Jolie was the original actress sought for the lead, and with her turns in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Salt, it’s certainly easy to understand why the studio wanted her. But don’t sell Sandra Bullock short. Although Bullock is a natural for comedies, she is capable of stretching enough to be quite believable as astronaut Ryan Stone. Sorry George Clooney fans, there’s not much screen time for Hollywood’s favorite bachelor, but he does make quite the impact. Do see this film in 3-D. –p.d. lee
