Gravity - Alfonso Cuaron film

[girasol]

Obviously I do, I was interested in how close to reality it really was, it's part of what makes me a curious person...



Also, enough scientists give a shit too, as they took the time to watch and analyse it.

 

[girasol]

That doesn't have to ruin the movie in any way, it's actually a good opportunity to learn more, for those of us who do give a shit.

 

[gabi]

can anyone confirm or deny whether that was kuthra-poly (sp?) off of the big bang theory at the beginning? i swear it was. which was a massive casting fuck-up if so, as was clooney really.

When I seen the trailer I thought immediately it would be an Open Water in space type film which would be utter tripe although has good reviews might check this out although not generally a fan of 3D.

 

[gabi]

They actually use the 3d really well. not normally a fan either. a lot of the shots are first person, in total silence. has quite an impact.

 

[ohmyliver]

Yeah, another fan of it here. Saw it at the Waterloo Imax yesterday, and wow.

My wife worked as part of the 3d team on it (she missed the cast and crew screening because of being on maternity leave though). I'm not biased or anything, but I thought the implementation of 3d on it was excellent, really unobrusive enhancement, saw the trailer for the new Hobbit film beforehand and in comparison the 3d was jarring and rubbish.

 

[Crispy]

I'm willing to bet the 3D for the hobbit works much better in the high frame rate version.

 

[ohmyliver]

Probably. In which case they're fools for not ensuring that the 3d trailer wasn't also high frame rate.

There just aren't very many projectors that can handle it.

Clooney is always a bad casting idea. He plays the same character in everything.

Nespresso man.

No, it's Phaldut Sharma (or AJ from Eastenders)

Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

Haven't seen it. I can only take him in small doses.

 

[Kaka Tim]

the imax in bradford is only showing it in 2d -

 

[Ranbay]

was ace, 3D was awesome...

3D boobies etc

 

[magneze]

It's brilliant. I now want to see it again on IMAX.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

10 out of ten. saw it in 3d on the weekend. utterly beautiful. i know the science behind it doesnt add up, but fuck it. i love this kinda shit. see 'moon, 'sunshine' etc.

This!

I thought the science was better than the usual SF standards. At least the spacecraft didn't bank like an airplane, like Battlestar Galactica.

 

[spacemonkey]

I fucking loved it. Barely listened to a word of the dialogue, although vaguely remember something about a dead daughter.

The visuals though - fuck.

I watched it in a packed IMAX and people were dead quiet all the way through, fair play.

 

[ohmyliver]

If anyone's interested here's a break down of one of the shots


(may well be less interesting if you don't work in vfx/post production, or have someone on hand to explain the jargon)

 

[Stigmata]

Great film. Does it count as science fiction? Not sure really.

 

[live_jayeola]

Loved it. Going to the IMAX this time. Yes, the physics does not all add up but this time I am just happy to be there, in the spell of the camera and screen. I saw it on Sunday. On Saturday, I saw the handing over of the Olympic torch at the ISS. It was a five hour space walk.

A wank fest for some one like me. That film was bang on. The darkness....

 

[editor]

I saw it at the IMAX today too with Eme. It was fantastic. A real immersive dramatic, engrossing experience. And, yes, I moved my head out of the way several times when the 3D debris came flying out of the screen!

I've got decent seats booked at the IMAX on Sunday, after all these positive reviews I'm expecting good things.

I did that! First time ever watching a 3D film where I actually felt like I was in the film. Incredible.

My Mrs isn't feeling too well today (Self inflicted) and doesn't want to come. So I have a spare (free) ticket. Anyone fancy coming to the 4:30pm 3D showing at Waterloo IMAX?

 

[belboid]

and another one who saw it in iMax3D last night..and another one who is going 'bloody hell that looked magnificent. Shame about the awful script.'

Stunning

 

[SpookyFrank]

The opening sequence was astonishing, one of the best things I've ever seen on a cinema screen. After that it gets a bit repetitive and suffers from script problems.

Still, my first instinct on leaving the cinema was to immediately cough up another tenner and go see it again. Thinking about it I probably could have just loitered around for a bit and snuck into a different screen for free.
