Sandra Bullock has been in a lot of things lately. At least, she’s starting to be in a lot of things that I’m noticing. It seems like she’s on an upswing and I’m all for it. I’m not a George Clooney fan. He just seems really dry and his performances are rarely outside of the same range. It’s either suit and tie American dream business man or not funny zany and silly. In this movie he plays an astronaut. While not in a business suit, he’s in a space suit. So I expect that kind of “charm” in between the crazy action scenes. That’s what I’m most curious about. The idea of playing with space in such a dark and cavernous way is freaky and interesting as hell. The idea is that these two are astronauts who get stuck in space after a horrible equipment accident. I don’t think anyone doesn’t have a nervous fear about being stuck in the dark with no end in sight. THAT is what’s going on here. It’s SPACE! Do they overcome? Do they die in space? Does it get bat shit crazy and involve aliens? Who knows! Let’s watch it and find out!
