Just came back from GRAVITY and all I can say is WOW!!! (No Spoilers)
 

Just came back from Gravity and all I can say is WOW!

What a freakin' fantastic movie. So well done on so many levels:

- SCIENCE (wow!): Lots of attention to detail and physics and surprise - NO SOUND in space!

- Gorgeous. Best Visual Effects I've ever seen in any more, ever. You might think that everything has been done in CG, but you'd be wrong. This movie truly pushes the envelope in what's possible.

- Great story. Simple and to the point. This could be a remake of MAROONED but with alot more excitement.

- Great Acting. I was wondering why they cast Sandra Bullock in a spacey sci-fi but after watching it and wondering how they could have pulled this off, I now know why. She's brilliant.

- Great 3D! Finally a Post-converted 3D movie that doesn't have sucky 3D. Very well done.

- See it in IMAX! I can't stress this enough. Find the biggest IMAX screen in your city to watch it on. If you see it on a smaller screen or wait for TV you'll be missing a heck of alot.

- You would think that having no sound in space would make the movie boring. Nope! They came up with a very clever way to make space explosions dramatic without the sound of explosions. Oh and by the way, this movie is freakin' LOUD.

Love it love it love it. Going back to see it again this week.

You should check out that director's last movie Children of Men. I remember when I saw that I thought it was fantastic.

Everything I have read and heard said this is a one of kind movie that completely sets a new standard - many saying it stands as one of the greatest movies of all time. Looking forward to it but I am going to see it on Super 70mm Cinerama which I personally find more pleasantly and thrillingly immersing than Imax.

Ill go see it but not in 3d

Just seen it very good

I was thinking it was going to be nothing as soon as i sat down i was gripping the chair, its really intense and very realistic.

This is my next 3d movie to watch this week

wow excited to see this now..i thought it was going to suck based on commercials

I got almost sick watching this movie in 3d IMAX. All the turning around, space shit. Needed to puke almost.

Saw the trailer, looked like a space version of Castaway but with talking. Thought it would be lame, but I plan to watch it because I want to bang Sandra Bullock. Then I heard good reviews, but still... c'mon... really? But this review (with no spoilers thank you) and the feedback is realistic so I'm going to check it out with an open mind (and still want to bang the Bullock).

To top it off, I saw this Japanese space Schick commercial today. SOLD!

I'll watch a cam and not complain.

Read the reviews on RT - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gravity_2013/

I will have to see it now as well...

Im going to have to check it out, ive seen the previews for it. Don Jon looks good too.

I know what you're saying because I've come to hate 3D movies now, especially 2D converted to 3D like this one, Star Trek into Darkness, Man of Steel etc. I wanted to see Gravity and had no choice but to see it in 3D but I was not disappointed. They seemed to have fixed all the problems with 3D in this movie in that it was:

- Not darker than it should have been
- Very clear (no blurry edges, no funny dark patches)
- Good use of 3D. Things "felt" like they were in the right place, and things really seem to fly right at me (I wanted to duck, twice!)

I hate 3D but they did it right with this movie.





Wow that was fast...!

.. and I know!!!! Totally gripping.



I know!!! That was so freakin' cool. I don't think I've seen such freedom of camera movement before. The best effect of this happens near the beginning, when the camera "catches up" and "follows" Sandra Bullock's character as she's on the Arm. Just freaking amazing.


It's closer to a remake of "Marooned", the space flick of the 60's, but alot more exciting.



I love this review on Rotten Tomatoes:

Gulp!

will see it later this week, going to see Rush first (tonight)

Watched it in IMAX, not bad, not bad.

Game of Ender is coming on Nov 1 .

I'll check it out. :)

I keep hearing how amazing this movie is. I am going to have to make sure not to miss it in the theaters.

Where did Mark go ?

good visuals, but very weak story and the acting was phoned in
Grade: C+

Looking forward to this one... :eyecrazy

:stoned

A theme sound a bit boring.

Children of Men is great! I can't wait to go see Gravity as well. It looks amazing and is getting fantastic reviews.

Will check this out.

When I saw the preview at the theater I had no desire to sit through a movie about someone stuck in space. Sounded like the movie about the divers who got stranded at sea (2 hours of bobbing in the ocean between shark attacks)...

But hearing all the raves I may go....

This movie kicks ass saw it yesterday in 3D

Only read the OP's post - no others just in case of spoilers - I have been wanting to see this for weeks, and plan on it tomorrow or the next day!
Looks freakin' amazing!

hmm... listening to you...

i think i rather trust those other 100,000 people who saw it and gave their reviews

:winkwink:

gonna watch it on Thursday

Wow are you sure you saw the same movie?

SLIGHT SPOiLER ALERT

The movie is at first a journey to get from 1 place to the other, but its also an emotional journey for Sandra Bullocks character. (If you don't know what emotional journey she has to face, you should watch the movie again).

If you're the director of the movie, you need to cast someone that can act with her face partially hidden most of the time by a space helmet, and her body hidden most of the time by her space suit. I'm no expert but I'm guessing this is really hard to do.

Maybe George Clooney phones it in, who knows. His character in Gravity is completely calm and cool but then again the filmmakers draw attention to this fact when he talks about how good looking he is. They also touch on the fact that his character is very experienced, while Sandra's character has only about 6 months experience.

Anyway, good acting from Clooney, GREAT acting from Bullock.

Plus there's the Alien-esq strip down scene. Wow she looks great.

By the way for anyone interested there is a really good review at

that doesn't give away any spoilers.

that's great news... :thumbsup

I really want to see it at the cinema! James Cameron said it is the best space movie.
