I'll probably see this in the theatre even though I'm not a big fan of either Bullock or Clooney.

I'll see it at home. I like both actors, but not so much in scifi (other than Demolition Man for Sandra).
So far I haven't seen enough about the movie to actually generate interest. All I've seen is that one "everything goes to hell" scene.

I may see this tomorrow tonight. If I do I'll post my spoiler-free review.

I'll save you the ending. In the very end they try to save her with a tether gun but it comes up a foot short and while they are rewinding the gun to try again she takes her helmet off to prevent them from wasting too much time to save her so that they can get back and be saved themselves.

Anyone think it's worth seeing in IMAX 3D? I saw it's playing in Madison. Might be cool with all the space scenes.

She's a cool chick, down to earth and not afraid to be funny like most hot women. Jesse James was an idiot. Shocker, I know.

I saw Gravity this afternoon. If you're going for story and story alone wait for DVD. I don't mean that as a bad thing because there is enough to keep your attention. The hero of the story isn't the two actors but the SFX and cinematography. The scenery is awe inspiring as they travel across the Earth. I don't know if they did the zero gravity scenes like they did for The Right Stuff or if it was all CGI, but it looked good while things float past the camera of the actors try to manage themselves in their environment. As far as waiting for DVD, I think it's a visual feast that deserves to be seen on the large screen. It really makes an impact of the enormity of space and the beauty of our planet. I don't think I'd get that same perspective on TV and for me it was worth the asking price of admission.

As I said, if story is your only concern (after all it's only a survival movie and how deep can that go?) you should probably wait. There were some panic inducing moments, acted well by Sandra. Clooney is his dry humour self, but makes a believable veteran astronaut. I wasn't disappointed, but I knew very little going in.


Sandra has got really really nice legs.


EDIT: re 3d. I wasn't too keen on paying the asking price for 3D so I decided on standard 4K resolution flat image. There were a few scenes you knew were especially shot for the 3D effect. Other times, seeing the flotsam entering and exiting the screen would add a lot to the effect and atmosphere. If the asking price isn't an issue I'd see it in 3D, though it's not mandatory to enjoy he flick.

Yes, and what a beautiful figure also!
If you saw the film Miss Congeniality you know what I mean.
I also like her attitude, she's an okay lady.
I would not say no to her!

My best regards, Kodiak.

I only watched "Miss Congeniality" because Michael Caine and William Shatner were in it.

HOLY CRAP THAT WAS GOOD!!!
I'm drained after watching it. Mostly pretty realistic but a lot of the procedural stuff wasn't very close. (takes about four or five hours to get a space suit ready to use and the wearer needs help getting into it, etc)
9/10
