Directorial tour de force, amazing visuals, even better sound direction. Only thing is this is more of a pet project/art house movie. The director is given total reign and isn't hindered by big studio politics. The level of anxiety in the film is unlike anything i have seen since the first Saw...its even more suspenseful than that...the flim is mad skressful brehs :sadcam:

I loved it, the writing is the weakest point.

did anyone catch that shot when she first got into the airlock and the space tether looks like an umbilical cord and the whole fetal imagery in general in that shot was masterful [/spoilers]

i saw this close enough to the front that the screen took my entire vision. so i had to turn my head slightly to see the whole picture.

3d.. :wow:

i sat down and originally thought i was too close.. but nah. it worked out real good.

This right here. The 3D effect is optimized when it takes up your entire vision. For that reason I never take any seat beyond the 6th row from the front when it's a 3D showing.

Watched it on a Real IMAX screen in 3D
The most amazing Visuals since avatar, in some ways even better
the suspense is amazing...
Crazy tho, I used to wonder what would happen in a situation with space debris and our space equipment

The only way to really enjoy this movie to me is on a big screen in 3D.
Imax 3D was piff

I actually thought that scene was a bit too unsubtle, or at least the part I bolded. That and...

the return of Clooney's character, even though it was a dream

... were too much of a contrast against the rest of the movie.

The movie was one big symbolic meaning of rebirth.
She was basically dead inside after losing her daughter, and after such an experience, she learned to live again. There are several scenes that symbolize childbirth.

When she was floating around alone in space and Clooney picks her up, that's like the sperm meeting the egg for conception. When she's in the cockpit floating in a fetal position, it's like she's in the womb; even the air tube looks like an umbilical cord. Going through reentry was like going into labor. Her struggle to escape the sinking pod was like childbirth. When she made it onto land, she had to first learn to crawl, then stand, then walk on her own. Finally she is able to live in the world again.

Usually it takes me a while to get used to 3d but the Imax was on some next level shyt :whew:

Clooney out there telling stories in space like he's back home barbecuing

Bullock's breathing is about to get her nominated

I probably wasn't as emotionally invested as some have been watching Gravity, but it will without a doubt be recognized as one of the greatest technical achievement in movie making.

In all seriousness, film was a little disappointing. Visually it was excellent but the characters were pretty unengaging and the dialogue mediocre. Not on the level of his earlier work. Also I have no idea with Bullock was the lead.
