Gravity (3D, RPX)

Gravity: the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth or; alarming importance or; both.

It's "Titanic" in space as Sandra Bullock & George Clooney portray astronauts having a very bad day. Just because these are the last two actors you would imagine in this type of role unless it was a romantic comedy, don't overlook this incredibly amazing special effects thriller with intense action. Clooney plays the calm & collected veteran/mentor on his last mission caught in a dire emergency and Bullock  plays the shaky novice/scientist in a panic situation. Bullock may surprise you as her character must rise to the occasion and take you on a hell ride through an astronaut's worst nightmare. You'll feel like you are right there drifting hopelessly in space narrowly escaping one calamity after another as you simultaneously sit on the edge of your seat & grip your armrest.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "space shrapnel" stars out of 4.
