Anyone hyped about Gravity? Loved Cuaron's Children of Men... this one should also have some crazy cinematography.

I am, Cuaron has done some of the most cinematically beautiful movies and this one doesn't look to disappoint on that aspect.

Gravity: 2 hours of Sandra Bullock spinning in space.


I saw Prisoners last night. Good movie. Worth seeing. Makes you think afterwards. Didn't feel like 2 1/2 hours. Paul Danos an underrated actor.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Just saw Gravity last night, IMAX 3D. The movie was breathtaking. I literally had my mouth open for much of the movie.

That being said, some gaping plot holes- and some cheesy plot lines. If you're the type that watches a movie and any slight inconsistency ruins the movie for you, probably won't love it.

If you can suspend your disbelief slightly and buy into the plot; it will blow your mind. I left awestruck and thrilled. Worth the $20 price tag.

This pretty much sums up my experience. I'm not much of a scientist, so I guess I threw my suspension into orbit with Gravity. If you're going to see this film, definitely watch it in the theater... in 3D (which I rarely ever suggest). For an escapist plot, the emotional resonance worked. A freaking plus.

* I also appreciated how the VFX crew was listed in the credits right after the director and DP (even before the actors).
