Very few effects-driven movies in recent years have offered anything visually groundbreaking or novel. The ones that have — Avatar, Inception, Life of Pi — have done so through fantastic or surreal imagery. Gravity is something almost unheard of these days: a Hollywood spectacle that shows us something new, set in the universe we live in. Ping!

I want to see the movie badly, but one thing hit me as I
watched the trailer:
Even though I like Sandra Bullock, she is a poor choice for
this move, as you know they cannot kill her off.
So all the suspense is gone because you know for certain
that all will be OK with her getting rescued.

Sandra Bullock, aye.
George (C)looney, nay.
The latter cancels out the former and I’ll wait for Netflix.

largely a simple, relentless two-character survival storyBleh. If I want simple, relentless survival, I have real life.

I can’t imagine a more unappealing movie than this. A woman floating around in space through the whole thing? Ugh! I’ll pass.

Saw it today. Well done. Find the critiques here interesting from those who did not see it. Also why Netflex if Clooney is really that disgusting to you, why bother at all. Sounds more like a pocket book issue. Thanks for thread NYer!

Just saw Gravity. Wow! Very symbolic as to the struggle of life and the inner force to survive. There was a moment in this movie when I could not help but equate this to the battle of an unborn child, fighting against a force intent on ending its life. I doubt Clooney realizes he starred in an extremely pro-life movie.

Heard from a friend today that it’s spectacular in 3D.
I wonder though: Is this basically a retread of “The Cold Equations?”

I just got back from seeing it. See it!! My theater was showing it in 3D and that was an extra treat for me.
Also, Prisoners, starring Hugh Jackman is the best drama I've seen in a very long time.
