Have you seen Gravity?

[Guest hitoallusa]

I'm planning to see the movie on this coming Thursday and I heard good reviews about it. I usually read the full plot on the wikipedia but decided to watch it without reading the plot.. Any reviews from the fellow posters would be appreciated..

[Guest EXPAT]

Yes. My favorite movie of the year so far.

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

Hated it. Thought it was extremely overrated. Much preferred Capt Phillips

[Guest EXPAT]

Too bad I keep hearing that Captain Phillips is all a lie. (From the real shipmates on the boat). I have no way of knowing though.

Boring. Cinematography is good but whole story is just so predictable. A better ending would have been she survives but lands on the planet of the apes, at least it would have added some pretense of a story and thought.

[Guest EXPAT]

Or landed in the future.

As is often the case, well reviewed movies increase expectations and frequently disappoint. While I can't exactly say I was disappointed, I definitely was not enthralled.

[Guest EXPAT]

I'm surprised at the general negative reaction here. I thought the cinematography was incredible and their ability to create the illusion that they were in space the entire times was incredible.

It's also not easy for one person to carry a movie and Sandra was remarkable in that regard.

I suspect we'll see a lot of love from the Academy for her and the movie.

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

I agree the cinematography was pretty good, but I was not impressed with the story or with Sandra Bullock's performance. I only saw it because it had gotten such great reviews, and I walked away with an "Ehhh.. that's it???"

I really enjoyed it. I thought beautifully done and very cleaver. My favorite movie of the year so far is IP Man. But, I love those movies.

I want to see Captain Phillips. I won't read the story about it being a lie until after I see it.

I hated Don Jon. There haven't been many good movies these last few months. So I hope Phillips is it.

[Guest lurkerspeaks]

the last two good movies i saw /enjoyed were Capt Phillips and Prisoners

I saw Gravity the day after it came out, went and saw in 3D at IMAX and the visuals are Great! the story line not so much! agree with Lurker. It definitely kept my interest for 90 minutes but you have to suspend the reality...but I guess we do that for a lot of movies. What I did find interesting is that Sandra Bullock is in the movie for 90% of the time at the only actor! I wonder what George Clooney was paid as he is only in the movie for about 15 minutes total.

I agree Gravity is gorgeous and it's really worth paying for IMAX 3D.

But it starts off with the fiction we still have a space program and gets less and less believable from there.

I was on the edge of my seat much of the movie, so I suppose I enjoyed it, but other than the visuals nothing to rave about, for me anyway.

[Guest hitoallusa]

I have just seen it and it's a great movie. I read the plot on the wikipedia before I went but still it was fun and thrilling. Thanks for your reviews. I think you have to watch this in the theater to appreciate the movie.

Saw it with my man in 3D at IMAX and the visuals are Great! but it was boring at times
