Gravity (2013)

So many emotions.. A

[Ezen Baklattan]

What else can I possibly say that no one has said before? F#cking fantastic.

The most tense moment for me was at the very end, when she got stuck temporarily underwater.  I literally held my own breathe!  

 

After so many tense, seat gripping moments - just when I thought it was over - Cuaron exploits my phobia of deep water/drowning.  Thanks a lot Cuaron!

October is like, my favorite movie month.

 

 

 

Yea, no surprise there would be Oscar bait in October.

I mean, I know Oscar bait tends to come out in October. I just would have thought that a film like Gravity would be more suited for a December release.

gotcha!

I want to see this, but my eyes can't handle the 3D.. I get headaches from it.. Too bad it's not in regular IMAX without the 3D.. Guess I'm stuck with the 2D version..

You probably get headaches because every other movie you saw in 3D was a shitty post conversion. This movie was designed and built from the ground up to be in 3D and it shows. It's phenomenal.

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Why some get 3D headaches: 

In normal vision, each eye sees things at a slightly different angle.

 

"When that gets processed in the brain, that creates the perception of depth," Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.

 

"The illusions that you see in three dimensions in the movies is not exactly calibrated the same way that your eyes and your brain are. If your eyes are a little off to begin with, then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert.

 

"This disparity for some people will give them a headache," she said.

 

Some people have minor eye issues that aren't noticeable in real life but are with a 3D presentation, so they get headaches. And 3D technology doesn't work at all for people with major depth perception issues. So it would be great if everyone could see Gravity in 3D but it's just not going to work or be enjoyable for everyone, unfortunately.

Yeah-some people cannot watch 3D at all.

There's an interview where Cuaron mentions that to give her moral support he held his breath along with her on each take, but her lungs were way better than his and she kept outlasting him.

That's not what Cameron would have done.

[lilmac]

Also, make sure you see it in a theater with good sound.  The second time, I could barely hear Houston Mission Control.

[baumer]

That's not what Cameron would have done.

 

Cameron to Bullock during the underwater scenes:  

 

Goddammit, you bitch! You never backed away from anything in your life! Now fight!

[slaps Sandra Bullock]

Cameron: Fight!

[slaps Bullock again]

Cameron: Fight! Right now! Do it! Fight goddammit! Fight! Fight! Fiiiiight!

[CloneWars]

Saw this a second time with a group. Two of the others loved it. One person hated it. He said he found Insidious 2 a million times better and he would never watch Gravity again.

 

As for me, I still see this a true masterpiece in filmmaking. A strong A+ from me.

[Ozymandias]

Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.  Can't think of a better quote for this movie.

Just see it in 2D, I did and it was amazing.

I heard a review of his over the weekend and the reviewer said he idn't buy into Clooney's character at all in this movie, that he came across too much like Danny Ocean in outer space.. This true?? Was he a wisecracker while Bullock is clinging for her life???

Just go see it, BKB.

Just go see the movie and judge for yourself, BKB.

I can see what the reviewer was saying but I disagree with it.  He was trying to keep her focused, not stressed.  

[luna]

he was a bit goofy but he was also fun. his dialogue probably detracted from the film a little bit on occasion but honestly it doesn't really matter, and his banter is obviously crowd-pleasing.
