Gravity.

I just read the synopsis of the movie on Wikipedia. My word, if something could go wrong it really can go wrong, talk about a bad day at the office. Whether trusting Wikipedia or not is for others to decide but reading the plot puts me in the mood to place it alongside Prometheus as a good idea that got out of hand. When the DVD comes down to £4 or less (£3 more than Prometheus was worth) then I might get it on the policy watch once, throw away. I might pay £2 if someone gives the heads-up that Ms/Mrs Bullock has a quickie while out of sight of the world below. I know some of you have seen it, the movie that is, not SB having a you-know-what but is the movie less laughable than what the plot suggests? I'd rather take my chance on the London Underground going from Victoria to Cockfosters.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
I actually enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting much but other people I knew said they liked it so I saw it. If you don't want to spend much just rent the DVD. Because it is space, it is much more enjoyable on a big screen at the movie theater than on your TV on DVD but likely still a good movie.

The IMDB[^] posting is pretty much "pro" - 8.2/10 from 295,292 users is not bad at all - I'll not see it at the cinema, but I'll watch it at home where I can get a drink, or take a call of nature without missing anything. Sadly, I suspect that Ms Bullock does not indulge in bumping uglies: if nothing else, the spacesuit would get in the way... :laugh:

Gravity was amazing to watch on the big screen. Definitely worth the money. From a plot perspective, there's definitely a reality to a cascade effect causing all sorts of havoc. Some of the details of the plot, well, those were a bit silly, but it's sci-fi, what do you expect? The other thing that was interesting about the movie is that the entire movie is filmed from with just two actors. It's hard to pull that off well, and I think they succeed. That other recent movie (the Tom Cruise one) is similar, and I enjoyed that one as well. My main complaint with Gravity was the line about how incredible the silence of being in space is. Well, from what I've read, being on the ISS is nearly deafening with all the pumps, blowers, fans, equipment, making noise. Marc

Gravity was one of two and a half movies I watched on a flight from Auckland to Santiago before the airplane screen died. If you are looking for a movie that: - respects the laws of physics, - has interesting characters, who evolve through the movie, - presents an insightful/interesting point of view on its subject matter, - has well written dialog, - and manages to avoid the cliches then find something else to watch. If you can tolerate all the above, it's actually not too bad. It's certainly preferable to not being able to watch anything for the last hours of the flight because the damned screen died.

Good luck to all the talent in filmic worlds. However, I had to stop watching the BAFTAs when 'Rush' didn't get a look in. A gritty, yet glamorous, straight adventure, honestly told, and all true, was excluded because it was too 'Eurocentric'. Never mind the superb acting, the excitement, the portrayal of heroism that was not just some expensively cheap Hollywood wet dream. It won't even get a smell of an Oscar. Bloody political correctness and inbred dues-paying. Even Sandra Bullock did a better film than Gravity last year, the one with the big girl that does stand up comedy, the buddy-buddy cop movie. I forget what the title was but it was honestly funny.:mad:

I too watched it on a long haul flight but my screen worked to the end. I wish I had seen it on a big 3D screen with decent audio. Forget the technical errors. It is an entertaining movie.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
