Gravity: First Movie Worth Going To A Theater In Years
 

Went to see Gravity in 3D Imax. It's a tremendous leap forward in the use of 3D cinema to tell a story. The movie is beautiful and the decision to use items moving away from you rather than toward you as action points works perfectly. With a 50something inch HD television on my wall there aren't any other movies I can think of that make it worth going to a theater... but watching Gravity in 2D or a 50 inch screen, or even a standard 3D movie screen... would be like watching a stripper while you're wearing a welding mask.

Go see it, and make sure it's in 3D Imax. :2 cents:

Ok, will do!

This was my one movie for the year I'll see in a theater. Definitely happy with my choice, was fucking pretty bad ass

New niche?

Oh yeah, and I saw Gravity at a iMax 3D theater on Friday night and was really impressed with it. :thumbsup

:stoned

ADG

saw it yesterday in 3D, definitely a great movie

have to say though that Rush left me emotionally more impressed

But since thats a movie about F1 it will be probably ignored by Americans mostly ;)

I hear that everyone is saying great - I just don't fancy a story about 2 people stuck in space - It just sounds boring...

Gravity and Captain Phillips were BORING.

RUSH FTW

Eugh we are supposed to be seeing Captain Phillips this weekend coming, but if it's boring i'm not sure i'll stick it

yes i agree, you need to watch it in wide 3d

I think i'm going to go see it next weekend. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint after the hype...

It's good, but if you think its the only movie worth seeing in the theatres in years you don't get out enough.. hehe

I'll give you this year maybe, it was a pretty slow year for movies..

looks stupid

What are some others worth seeing in the cinema vs at home on a good home theater system?

Watched it the other night.

The visuals were eye-popping...but the premise was (yawn)...so-so.

Agreed.

In 2D on a 50 inch television the movie is a C+ at best...

In 3D on Imax it's the best movie of its kind I've ever seen...

Well, if that is the case I will stay home - smoke a bowl and watch Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and actually not get bored. Oh and save $50 bucks on a couple of tickets!

Thanks!

pretty much exactly what I was going to say :thumbsup

2001: A Space Odyssey and Gravity aren't even in the same league.

I'd re-watch Kubrick's epic for the umpteenth time before watching Gravity again.

Give it a chance. Trust me you'll love it. Way better than I expected, and I guarantee you your hands will sweat.

It's also not just a story about 2 people stuck in space. The story is deeper then that. And if you go and see the movie not seeing the "other" story you may want to watch it again.



I liked 2001 but lets be honest. It's dull as dishwater and takes forever to get to the point. In the 1960's its visual effects were the best ever seen on screen (and I'm a huge Douglas Trumble Fan, and a huge Kubrick fan...)

Gravity isn't nearly as expansive as 2001 but it does reach new heights in visual effects, which is really hard to say in today's CG world. Plus... the seamlessness... the amazing camera moves... the lonnnngggg cuts... the soundlessness .... SPLOOGE!

Gotta see it again now..

Do this :

Turn up your speakers to 10, set your monitor to full screen, crank the rez up to 720 or 1080, and watch this clip. https://youtube.com/watch?v=C4pcg7bXgmU

GACK!

Oh and by the way it is completely, completely, totally, absolutely, worth paying $20 to see it in IMAX 3D. And I usually don't like 3D movies because they are sometimes blurry or dark or too 2D'ish... Gravity was made for this format.

Not THIS American...wow, was RUSH a great movie...of course I have been an F1 fan for 30+ years...:winkwink:

Transformers 4 might be a better fit for your attention span.

Never seen any of those Transformer movies.

Don't be such a fanboy.

You should, they are decent. Transformers 1 is the best. Transformers 2 sucked. Transformers 3 is also very good and is a leap-forward in visual effects.

now i gotta watch this one too.

Indeed, Gravity is a great movie and worth's going to see it in a cinema in 3D:thumbsup

No idea what the story is at all but that didn't make me want to go see it.

Great flick 10/10 except for the Sandra's yelling high pitch all the way :)

watched it nearly, good movie and story

I saw it, its out of this world.

Incredibly boring. And it's mostly just 1 person, so imagine how much fun that is. Just came back from the theater, what a stinker. It's amazing what some (most) people consider great these days.

You're right... it's about 1 person stuck in space. What a trite piece of shit.

Please do enlighten me what was the "other" story? The never-give-up/keep on fighting till the end bullshit? Please tell me because I want my money and time back.

I will end by saying Spaceballs was a more entertaining (and probably more believable) sci fi movie. Oh yeah, with a much more interesting plot too.

Don't you hate when there's only one person in a movie? The fucking nerve they have making a movie like that, because a ticket is worth at least 2 or 3 actors.

Yeah I do. Actually, I can't think of a single good movie with only one actor in it.
