ATTENTION:

dan30oly, Arpeggi, Spottedfeather & PenguinJoe please do not enter your "traditional" star review in these threads any longer. Whether intentional or not, it is a troll move to always vote 0 or 1.0 stars, whether you've seen the movie or not, and no longer appreciated in these, somewhat, legitimate reviews threads.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING IN THIS MATTER**

I voted no stars, they gave $80m to a mexican to hire two liberals that probably have a masturbation contest and then float around in space for 90 minutes? The studio should be shot!



...I can't wait to see this movie. Hope it lives up to a fraction of the hype.

I've seen soooo many ads for this and it looks garbage to me. I don't think I can stand Sandra spinning around for an hour or so in space.

Solid Snake

I'm not a Bullock fan at all but I think she could do alright for this. Not to put down astronauts but I'm pretty sure they're great people to see freak the fuck out in space. I think Bullock will do fine with that.

Why So Blu?

It's Cuaron, so it's gonna rock. It's a given.

OldBoy

can't wait to see this!

dex14

Yup.

I'm excited for this but I'm worried the TV spots I've been seeing lately have been way too spoilery.

This seems like one film where it might be worth the extra money to see it in IMAX 3D.

Lara Means

Thursday 10PM... why are you so far away?

Michael Corvin

Looking forward to it. Haven't seen too many spots for it, so I don't know much. The Variety article posted in the other thread has upped my enthusiasm though.

Ash Ketchum

Can't wait to find the one negative review:

"Gravity is completely weightless"

And the boxoffice report on Monday:

"Low Gravity at the boxoffice"



(Of course, it could go the other way and read: "Gravity Soars" and "Gravity floats to the top")

Ash Ketchum

Well, I got something. In the Science Times section of today's New York Times, there's an article on GRAVITY that tempers some high praise with the revelation of "a gaping orbital impossibility big enough to drive the Starship Enterprise through."

why are you trying to find a bad review? who gives a shit...

banthafett

I like the idea of this movie, but can't stand the stars of it.

Noonan

I've been trying to read nothing about this one since seeing the trailer. Looking forward to seeing it. A lot of good movies coming out this fall.

I couldn't get this to embed, but it's David Edelsteins's great review from Sunday Morning.

Throwing Copper

Wow. This is only 90 minutes long or about 1 hour, 25 minutes of actual movie. I figured it'd roll on from 150+ minutes. Nice.

Solid Snake

I'm actually really surprised by that. That's actually kind of amazing.

Osiris3657

Come on now, you know that's his schtick. Does it in every thread of well regarded movies.

fumanstan

I'm kind of happy to hear that. I don't mind a tight, well paced movie of this sort.

Osiris3657

97% with 57 reviews in.

RichC2

...I actually think Children of Men would have been better at 90 minutes.

Solid Snake

How long was CoM? It was like 2.5 hours right?

RichC2

Naw, 109 minutes.

Solid Snake

Well in that case, I think you could kind of condense it by like 10 mins and you'd be good.
