And everything was so freaking *real* and believable.

Did not disappoint! Yes, the visuals, the effects... all fabulous. But what had me was Sandra Bullock's performance! And George Clooney's suave nonchalance. Oh how I wished it had been in VO instead of dubbed!<br /><br />On the 3D vs 2D front, a friend of mine went to see it in 2D and he said it was pretty obvious that the film had been made with 3D in mind so definitely make the effort if you can! I'm lucky that cinemas in my city are a bit desperate to bring in patrons (stupid crisis!) and have removed the supplement for 3D so the price is now the same! :o)<br /><br />I thought the fire extinguisher was great! My dad loved the frog...<br /><br />Alfonso Cuarón has yet to disappoint me! I just hope it doesn't take him so long for his next film... ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47487544743082219862013-10-08T12:29:24.954-04:002013-10-08T12:29:24.954-04:00Great review J.D.!

The visuals were AMAZING and it was very cool to see what it must look like when one is above the earth. Going to space would be very cool, but this movie definitely played on my biggest fear of space...floating into the universe, never to return. Very scary indeed! This movie was definitely awe inspiring and I believe could be enjoyed in 2D or 3D.Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233522214085780910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-27403110349466021222013-10-08T10:02:48.520-04:002013-10-08T10:02:48.520-04:00Hype only ever bothers me when a) I've watched...Hype only ever bothers me when a) I've watched said hype (and I studiously avoided it for this movie). And b) the final result doesn't live up to expectations. <br /><br />While I'll admit my expectations were not as high because of my avoidance of all the trailers and reviews, that didn't affect my reaction to the film. For me this was nearly a perfect movie. It is possible I might amend that feeling when I see it again, but I doubt it. <br /><br />I'm not disrespecting your opinion Anonymous, I've just been burned so many times by hype that I'm automatically wary when something is advertised to death. <br /><br />As for the 3D, yeah I thought it was spectacular in 3D. But if anyone has issues with headaches while wearing those stupid glasses, don't risk the pain for it, I'm not sure it's worth it. I imagine the 2D version is just as awesome to look at.<br />Samantha M.

In the end, it's a solid little movie that can't possibly live up to that idea of outrageous excellence you imagine after all the endless accolades.<br />Or maybe it was just the usual headache I get from the 3D glasses that lessened my enjoyment.<br /><br />What I grealy enjoyed was reading this interview afterwards where a real astronaut tells how close to reality the movie really was: http://www.vulture.com/2013/10/astronaut-fact-checks-gravity.html<br />WARNING: Only read it after having watched the movie, it's full of spoilers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-81594370421694052662013-10-08T08:49:32.469-04:002013-10-08T08:49:32.469-04:00Wow.
