It was edge of your seat the whole way, a stressful thriller, we liked it.

Re: Did anyone see 'Gravity' yet? - What did you think? I don't trust the paid reviews.
The movie gets very high ratings, but can you trust those reviews that the search engines produce?
I'm torn whether I should go see it. I almost went today and then changed my mind not sure if I should believe the hype.
Is it just special effects and entertainment? What do you think?
Some reviews say that there is a deep spiritual message contained in the movie.
Is there a message worth watching the movie? Is it a deep message or just an MSM tailored spiritual brainwash message? Is this movie what they say....already a classic....would you recommend seeing it? I think there will be more accurate reviews among the glp crowd than in the general public : )
Would love to see some real opinions and thoughts about the movie to help decide whether it's worth watching.

I have not seen Gravity yet, but the previews seem interesting, I will wait until it comes out on video, before spending any money on their GMO Popcorn....

In the mean time, here is a movie worth watching......

total shit. Thought it was retarded. Sorry I don't want to listen to Sandra Bullock have a prolonged panic attack and gasp for air constantly for 2 hours.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2911653


Yep, too much gasping... and Clooney barking orders give me a break. Cardboard 'acting'.

And why wouldn't he know about her life, home town and family? It is space and you got to train for it FOR YEARS it's not some bar or nightclub on the outskirts of town where you don't know anybody or anything.

And I know it's probably true, but do all space stations not lock their hatches? Ridiculous. What about aliens and rogue countries trying to break in? Get real.

Bullock looks good though and I'd still like to bang her in zero G.

The film is allegory and for all we know, it's all in her head.

Yes really. Pay attention to the dialogue.

I saw it.

I have to say I hated it, Sandra Bullock and serious acting does not mesh.
I have flaws, I was just as surprised as you when I found out!

I saw the movie yesterday. Why did Clooney untethered himself? He was tethered to Sandra and her leg was tangled up in the parachute lines. Their relative velocity to the station was zero. He didn't have to die! Stupid movie. Awesome visuals though...

Real shame they spend so much time, money, and talent on a movie but can't be bothered to come up with a story that actually makes sense.
Hollywood execs seem to think that writing is the least important part of a movie.
They got it backwards: a good story can redeem a movie with low production values, but no amount of bling can salvage a badly written story.

Visuals were stunning, worth the ticket price. They needed to focus more on the character development aspect of the film. I found it difficult to really care about either one of these people because their relationship happened too quickly and didn't make a whole lot of sense IMHO.

It's average.

Pretty good visuals.

Movie takes no risks, and Bullock character undergoes a somewhat cliched personal transformation.

Some of what happens in space is ludicrous, which detracts from the realism.

Some scenes are intense.

I really wish it had been a little more realistic.

Not really a classic. I reserve that distinction for Apollo 13.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44555751


I agree average acting especially. Bullock was doing her "omg, omg omg" phrase she uses in other movies.

The special effects were stunning. I almost got sick watching the beginning when the satellite struck and they were spinning around and that was without 3-D.

Alfonso cuaron is a really good director and completely nailed what Britain will be like in ten years in his dystopia,children of men. Anyone remember when Clooney used to keep tilting his head all the time, it was irritating and not acting

epic fail of a sci-fi movie.

This is probably the most accurate post so far. I don't even bother going to the theater anymore; it's just computer special effects bullshit and Illuminati brainwashing. No thanks. There still ARE good movies being made on this planet, but they sure as hell don't come out of Hollywood.

I had to LOL, and came instantly to the conclusion by the middle of the movie (center landing piece on Soyuz miraculously ejects through the hull the landing parachutes onto ISS, seconds before the whole contraption gets ripped apart by space projectile bombardment), that this is a badly made dark comedy.

I liked it from beginning to end and wasn't put off by the "it wouldn't happen like that" moments. It was done well and a lot better than most space movies. There were a couple of times I was thinking "that's a glaring example of something that couldn't happen", but it's just a movie. I didn't go there for a physics lesson.

It was the best movie we saw since the 1st Matrix.

As far a Sandra's panic attacks...it was my understanding she was a specialist, not a seasoned astronaut. So it was mostly her that gave us the drama we crave.

Really now, if it were 2 space experienced George Clooney types it would mostly be a silent movie imo. Ex-military DoD types are true masters of silent communication, they know what has to be done and just do it.
