It's Tuesday which can only mean one thing on Ticket Stub - it's time for another Trailer Tuesday.

This week's choice is a new film from Christopher Nolan - Insterstellar.

Nolan is back in the director's seat since finishing the Batman trilogy and the outstanding blockbuster, Inception (2010). Co-written with his brother Jonathan, Nolan's sci-fi thriller sees a group of scientists and explorers try and surpass the limitations of human space travel after a wormhole is discovered.

Starring recent Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey alongside Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, the movie certainly has a great cast. Hanz Zimmer is also back scoring the film which will surely be epic as ever. No doubt lots of special effects and advertising Nolan's name with the film will make this a popular choice at the box office. 

Interstellar is released in the UK on November 7th 2014.

Trailer Tuesday: Gravity (2013)

Today's Trailer Tuesday is a sci-fi thriller - Gravity.

Starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, Gravity is a gripping story of survival after the two astronauts are involved in a horrific accident on their Space Shuttle. They are alone in space with nothing but each other. How on earth will they survive?

There is a big buzz around this film directed by Alfonso Cuarón. After its premiere at the 70th Venice International Film Festival, it has already reached critical acclaim particularly for its visual effects. Gravity is being shown in 3D and in IMAX 3D and, although I am not the biggest fan of 3D and its ridiculous pricing, many great filmmakers are praising it. Take James Cameron - in Variety Magazine, he stated that "it's the best space photography ever done, I think it's the best space film ever done, and it's the movie I've been hungry to see for a very long time". High praise indeed.

In fact, the second man to walk on the moon was "very very impressed with it". Yes, Mr Buzz Aldrin himself said in a guest review for The Hollywood Reporter that he was "extravagantly impressed by the portrayal of the reality of zero gravity". So if the 3D works for Buzz, it works for me.

Gravity has already gone to the top of the US Box Office in its opening weekend, with out-of-this-world takings of $55.55m - that's £34.62m! Like quite a few trailers that have been featured recently on Ticket Stub, the word 'Oscar' has been associated with Gravity too. I definitely suspect the film will be nominated for its special effects. They look spectacular. 

The trailer is tense and definitely worth the watch. 

Gravity will be released in UK cinemas on November 8th 2013.
