GRAVITY

[Ausfree]

Just watched the DVD "Gravity" starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, on my home system. Great special effects and sound and I would give the movie 9 out of 10 for that. Plot is a bit weak, would give it 6 out of 10.:D

Reading in the paper, it has ten nominations in various categories for Oscar Awards along with the movie "American Hustle".:D

Did I enjoy the movie?....yes!!:D
Would I watch it again?..yes!!:D

What did any body else think of the movie?:D

I was going to see it at Imax.
I'm kicking myself I didn't. Perhaps I should get a 3D tv.

Would be excellent in 3D!!:D

Get a 3D TV Jim.
I'll drop in with a 3D Bluray copy of the flick and some popcorn.

"Gravity" did pretty well, winning seven Oscars!!:)

Saw it in 3D at the pictures.... It was really excellent.

Plot was about as complex as it could have been given the premise.

Boffins will poo-poo some of the scientific accuracy. Technical accuracy is always the first casualty in movies ( I don't know a movie that doesn't ...except maybe "The Odd Angry Shot" :BigThumb:)

Saw it on a tiny screen on a 767 on my way to Perth. Thought it was great. Can't wait to watch it on the home cinema.

What an amazing movie, and only two actors plus the voices of about five others for the entire movie.

I watched it last night and would give it a 4/10.

Without being too much of a plot spoiler, the "cliff hanger" scene completely ruined it for me. The whole movie hung on that and it simply doesn't work like that in zero-gravity.

I agree Dougal, just not enough throughout the movie to keep the suspense up - i'd give it a 7 though just coz i like all things space and sci-fi.

Nothing to do with Sandra floating about in her singlet and underwear then?

Have to agree, that's part of the reason why I said the plot was a bit weak. My wife and I both watched it and when that scene came on we looked at each other quite puzzled. There is supposed to be no gravity in space.

Still...........................I enjoyed it, being a SciFi fan!!!:D:D Now, don't some body come on here and say "Yes there is gravity in space if you are in orbit then you are actually falling around the Earth blah, blah"......I know all that!!!

She doesnt do it for it me , now if it was Kate Beckinsale ...........

She's not on my list either.

I think the biggest problem with the movie is the target audience are the type most likely to spot the mistakes.

[mikehzz]

I thought the movie lacked atmosphere......:D One wag remarked that George Clooney would rather drift off and die in space than hang out with a woman his own age.

[chuckh93]

I thought Gravity was awesome. Would recommend to anyone.

[Greatsouthernland]

Scenery and effects were good.

But Sandra and her sooky fumbling around, just making it through every 'challenge', really ruined it for me. The wife agreed, her character did nothing to credit the achievements and capability of highly intelligent women astronauts......or women in general. :o

3/10
