Gravity** (12A)
(Odeon Colchester)                              

(US/Spa/GB 2013)

A shuttle explorer mission is struck by accidental flying debris, and the main science officer has a perilous journey in trying to get back to Earth.
Oscar winning space drama actually more about human survival, with a heroine similar in resourcefulness to that of Alien's Ripley, and visually as striking as Kubrick's 2001, but with more of a heart than either. The 3D is well used, in the ironically anti-claustrophobic seclusion of outer space.
