Gravity****

Alfonso Cuarón co-wrote and directed this Sci-Fi thriller Watch Preview Cast: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney. Rated PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language. Running time is one hour and thirty minutes.

A brilliant medical engineer (Bullock) on her first shuttle mission, and a veteran astronaut (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring are faced with disaster when space debris strikes their space station.

As you know, I watch a lot of  movies, and I'd be hard pressed to think of one I've seen in the past few years better than this one. It starts fairly normally but within a few minutes the action starts and never lets up. It features edge-of-your-seat intensity, and photography so stunning you'll swear it was actually shot in orbit. Although Clooney has his moments, this is Bullock's film from start to finish and she is absolutely outstanding. I knew she was very good in light comedy roles but I had no idea she could pull something like this off. Additionally, the pacing is spot on and I guarantee you won't be looking at your watch during this film. I saw this in IMAX 3D and want to point out if you've been thinking about attending an IMAX feature and haven't yet done so, this is the one to see on that giant screen. The 3D is breathtaking without feeling in the least contrived. If Bullock doesn't get a Best Actress nomination for this it will be a real travesty.

There are no additional scenes once the final credits begin. This is a film I highly recommend you see in IMAX. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times. IMAX 3D Times.
