Has anyone watched Gravity? I don’t know whether or not the film and/or the actors won any Oscars, but that movies hype was greatly exaggerated.
Yes, and, like the force of nature it was named for, it sucked!
Seriously, can anyone here in Freeper land explain in cogent terms why such a large percentage of the American public feels the need to waste 3 or more hours of their life to watch a bunch of "the beautiful people" get together for their annual group pat-on-the-back telling US how great they are?
I find the whole thing silly, if not downright repugnant that these people, who memorize and read lines written for them, moving around on special areas as directed like trained monkeys, should be so lauded, lionized and "loved". And, just to make it even more silly, with very few exceptions, they see their "adoring fans" like so much vermin in private, all the while living their "beautiful lives" thanks to the hard-earned dollars that the public shells out to see the drivel that passes for "Entertainment" these days.
Cynical? HELL YES! And I haven't even gotten into what happens when these trained apes are asked to form a personal opinion on something important like war, poverty or even something as made-up as "Glo-bull Warming".
I saw Gravity. The special effects were impressive, and it was the best use of 3 D I’ve seen. But the actors weren’t nearly as impressive as the hype led me to believe they would be.
Gravity was exaggerated. It wasn’t anything special except for the special effects.
Someone I know who saw it said the special effects were great. Which was the only thing about the movie worth watching.
Watched it, what a waste of time that could have been better spent watching the dust collecting on the windowsill.
I didn’t find Gravity to be all that good. My husband fell asleep.
Over-hyped, yes. It was pretty good eye-candy is all.
I also like a good dose of plausibility in a movie, and this one had virtually NONE. I heard an astronaut interviewed after the movie was out a couple of weeks, and he said just about everything that happen was a fairy tale - literally impossible to occur in reality.
