Gravity the movie, What do you think of It?

I saw it Friday evening on the grand full scale IMAX screen in the Lincoln Square cinema. SO far it's my favorite film I have seen this year. I've already seen 22 movies in 2013 (about 16 of them in the movie theater).

I hold the opposite opinion regarding the acting and script. The simple script was pitch perfect. Despite the film's scientific errors (as stated by the world famous scientist, Neil Degrasse Tyson here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/neil-degrasse-tyson-trolled-gravity-on-twitter), please remember it's a work of fiction and suspension of disbelief still applies. It's not a frakking Nova or BBC science documentary or astronomy/physics class taught by Stephen Hawkings.

You should have strayed away from revealing spoilers as some people might stumble onto this thread prior to seeing the film to see if its worth seeing in the movie theater (which I believe it totally is) or to wait until it comes out on DVD/Bluray.

I think Sandra Bullock is going to get her second acting Oscar nomination and so far she's my favorite lead actress performance this year.

And yes, there are some people who actually would sacrifice themselves for others. Not everyone is sociopathic, completely selfish, and totally devout to the libertarian way of thinking ... so I believe Clooney's decision is a possible one (albeit a too quick/irrational one at the moment)

well, thanks to you two, I don't have to go see it.

((sheepishly)) Sorry. I forgot to add the spoiler tags onto the thread when I first say it this morning.

Still, you should see the movie as its quite a stunner to look at and Sandra Bullock gives quite a moving performance.

I liked it but didn't love it. There were some points of preposterous physics but I'm inclined to grant them some poetic license since this wasn't supposed to be a documentary. The visual elements were very nice and the ending of the film got rolling enough so that I was entertained, but I thought it slowed down in the middle of the film as they did the obligatory exploration of the character's angst at being in such a desperate situation.

A recent movie called Europa Report was similar to Gravity in its attempts at technical accuracy. The story was more interesting in Europa Report, but the visuals were better in Gravity.

the way I look at it if a movie maker learns how to use technology in a new way that allows new things to be done, or old things done better, then I should get a better told story. this is no different than the concept that A more capable language should be expected to tell a better story. why use the great new ability to tell a thin boring story? let it tell a great story.

I saw very small budget indie, Europa Report in the movie theater and neither the story nor the acting wasn't better then that in Gravity.

It was good film but all it was, was The Blair Witch Project (1999) but in space.

Gravity is a slasher movie set in space. I dont tend to liie slasher movies.

Unfortunately movie makers have gone and substituted "Technology" for the story. That's for kids.

To each his own. But I would point out...

Gravity : Miraculously dodging space debris and worrying about life
Europa Report : Exploring a new world and discovering alien life

Europa Report wins, by default.

Awesome movie it is!! Amazing experience!

ya, you are half right, amazing experience, but most certainly not a awesome movie. you can not have a great movie with at least a serviceable script.

He ain't coming back to elaborate on that short review I guess.

Well, even in 3D, the movie is somehow disappointing..
