I am reviewing the action movie Gravity which stars Sandra Bullock & George Clooney & is an excellent film. Sandra has a much bigger role than George but both give excellent performances. The film starts with a space shuttle mission where both Sandra & George along with another astronaut are working in space. A rogue missile has caused a chain reaction that threatens to knock out the communication satellites and anything else in its path including them. Only George & Sandra survive the initial devastation. George is in charge of the mission and advises Sandra to keep talking because maybe mission control can hear her even though she has lost touch with them. The space shuttle is destroyed and they have to go to the International Space Station in the hope they can hitch a ride on the escape pod. That doesn't work out and George is presumed lost in space. Actually the space station is badly damaged in the explosion that destroyed the space shuttle and there is a raging fire going through the station. I think Sandra has to try a chinese space station which is less badly damaged and by then George has done the longest space walk in history. There is a reasonably happy ending and it would have been nice to see George in a larger role but although most of the film just features Sandra it does keep your interest throughout. I did read before that Sandra does a big budget movie once every few years but likes to do mostly indie films. Obviously this is a big budget film which is also in 3d. I think this film is a winner.
