So I went to the theater ready to fork over 18 bucks to see Gravity in IMAX 3D but then I saw the Runner Runner poster. Justin Timberlake with a gun! The always beautiful Gemma Arterton! The new Bruce Wayne! How could this not be great? I went to the register and made the very conscious decision to pay 8 bucks for Runner Runner instead. My review below:

Yeah I totally saw Gravity and by the looks of it, everybody in the theater was prepared to go see Gravity in the IMAX. The theater was at about 90% capacity with 20 minutes to go. Got some very cool trailers, including Walter Mitty, Thor: The Dark World, Captain Phillips, and The Hobbit.As for the film itself....what a thrilling experience. It's beautiful, it's emotional, and it's intense. Everybody does stellar work, including Bullock, Clooney, and the MVP of the movie,

the Indian Guy Emmanuel Lubezki! The score would occasionally get overbearing, and some of the symbolism was a bit on the nose (dat fetal position shot), but technically, it felt as flawless as could be. The long take in the beginning pretty much had me enthralled from the get go. I'm a huge sucker for those takes. I guess the other thing that was slightly bothersome is that the film goes through a case of severe Murphy's Law in the middle stretch of the movie, but it sure did make for an intense portion. The really emotional final 20 minutes felt more cathartic as a result, even if some people dislike the happy ending.Also didn't realize Ed Harris was Mission Control. That's awesome.

I'm disappointed. I wanna read the other movie's review.

You wouldn't want to see my review. It'd probably be me ranting for 4 paragraphs about the fact that Tipsy isn't actually featured in the movie.

I'm really grateful that I'm not into sweets. That would be bad news.Though I do compensate it with pizza, burgers, beer and cigarettes.

Pizza, burgers, and beers are fine (in moderate amount), but come on, quit smoking :)

I never heard the name Jaffa Cakes before, but we got cookies here that look exactly like that. With jelly inside, too. They're pretty delicious.

I'm sure they're great, but I really hate russian chocolates. They're always either way too sweet or have some weird filling inside.
