The way this movie is filmed will blow your mind. If this movie doesn't win best cinematography, I'll drive to LA and shoot the entire voting academy.

Lots and lots of tension at times, edge of your seat stuff...

Plus, the usual Clooney humor . And Sandra's legs, which have to be as good as they get for someone her age.

LOL, that was also a vague reference to Rush, which also had some girls much hotter than that picture of Sandra posted earlier. ;) Cars are better than a movie with hot girls (and no cool cars or airplanes or other stuff like that) in it. How about that? :)

Is Sandra Bullock any better of an actress now than in her heyday 10-15 years ago? I couldn't stand to watch her in a movie back then - terrible actress.

I've seen both movies and, as much as I like Rush, it's not even in the same ballpark as Gravity. One will win Oscars, the other won't. Guess which one?

You know she's an Oscar winner, right? Best actress, no less. Her best work is in the last couple of years, not 10-15 years ago.

She's getting great reviews for this movie. If nothing else, the cinematography will blow you away. Make sure you watch it in 3D, on an IMAX screen.

And still no one has told me what it is about. It appears that it is about floating around in the space station while some story plays out. They don't feel gravity so I guess that is why the movie is called that.

javadog 10-05-2013 02:25 PM

I started to type a synopsis of the plot but I don't want to reveal any surprises. I suggest you watch a trailer.

3D at an Imax. It was awesome visuals. The story was pretty good to. Amazing sets. I have to wonder about the first grade pictures in their "spaceship" checklist though. Like when she was trying to use the landing rockets to boost away. (I dont think thats spoiling anything). And in the end, I dont think anyone could do what she had to do. But it was a good flic none the less.

disaster in space, struggle to survive and some interesting allusions to rebirth and personal re-invention. stunning 3D stuff.

Just a fantastic movie!

....which is pretty much what a mission specialist is. Not a pro astronaut but someone who's on that one mission to perform one specific thing, because of whatever their specialty is.

Plus, it served another purpose, per flatbutt.

No, actually, I didn't know that. Good to know.

Just saw it....excellent cinema-tronics! 1.5 hrs of stress. My oldest brother was one of the tech manual writers for the 1st shuttle, and I have loved the shuttle program for its lifespan.

Gravity movie
 
We saw it. Great movie. I saw a few technical errors for my VERY LIMITED science knowledge. Nothing major.
