Parts of Gravity are so incredibly beautiful that I couldn't do anything but watch with my mouth hanging open, blown away by the amazing spectacle. It opens in the soundless void of outer space. A new, somewhat reluctant astronaut named Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and a seasoned space walker (George Clooney) are repairing a satellite. Gravity follows Stone as her shuttle (and contact with Mission Control) is destroyed by space debris and she's forced to try to find a way to safety. Bullock is outstanding, and I say this as someone who doesn't generally enjoy her work. She's on-screen for almost the whole movie, and she's riveting to watch. (PAUL CONSTANT)
