In Which George Clooney and Sandy Bullock Go to Space and Maybe Die

The trailer for Gravity, the new Alfonso Cuarón film starring The Cloons and Sandra Bullock, doesn’t show much. What it does show: America’s favorite Crinkle-Eyed Avuncular Sexy Confirmed Bachelor and America’s Klutzy Tomboy Sweetheart, far away from us, in outer space. WHY, NASA, WHY?

Everything is beautiful and picturesque and cinematic — with the Earth looking like a pretty blue marble — until it isn’t. Something goes horribly wrong, and Sandy is flung into the inky black ether. Since it’s called Gravity, one can only assume that the next two hours feature Sandra falling ever so slowly to the ground? Scintillating.
