(SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read another word of this if you haven’t seen “Gravity.” And if you have seen “Gravity,” know that this might throw your GPS into a spin.)
If the end of “Gravity” is to be taken at face value, our heroine — Sandra Bullock‘s chronically oxygen-deprived ride-along scientist Ryan Stone — has quite a story to tell.
But to whom will she be telling it? Her NASA handlers, the rabid press, a nation of adoring fans … or her daughter (and possibly the cast of “Lost”)?
In Alfonso Cuarรณn’s dazzling 3D survival tale, a burst of third-act diversions leaves open the possibility — to this viewer, at least — that Ryan never actually made it to the beach of some remote paradise.
