Gravity (2013)

This was pretty bad imho. Bad enough that I left the theater after 25 minutes and waited in the lobby for my wife and other friends to finish it. When they got out all three of them pretty much said, "That was it?" I am disappointed I wasted $10 on this. Could have gone to Taco Bell and has something more enjoyable.

i saw people coming out of gravity saying this too. they were women o course. i assumed they thought sandra and clooney were going to hook up by the end and when that did not happen it probably rubbed them raw. it also doesnt help that this film has been hyped up to unrealistic levels. this is an epicly awesome film but its still just a film and people need to realize that its not going to cause people to change religions or solve all the world's problems.

I saw it yesterday and thought it was good but it isn't a great movie. The story is pretty ass but the cinematography is great.

yeah, that scene was done EXTREMELY bad. Watching it you have the clear impression that he is getting dragged away from some kind of force even if at least 3 times you can clearly see they have stopped their momentum. They should simply be floating, but then all of a sudden he get pulled back again by i_have_no_fucking_idea_what

The entire scene worked like they were hanging from a cliff, with him suspended in the air while she try to pull him up. Except they are in a zero-G enviroment. /rolls eyes

No you didn't.

While this wasnt the second coming of Citizen Kane, in no way is it bad enough to make sitting in a lobby by yourself preferable to watching the rest of it.

0% chance that happened. Quit pretending to be a movie snob

Worse then a movie snob, the only people that "hated" it were the hipster douche bags who realized it made a pile of cash after the first weekend.

Movie snob? Really? Because someone didn't like a movie you did? Disliked the stupid in it enough that he had finally had enough and walked out? Couldn't happen that way. Okay. Whatever you need to believe to make you happy. But I simply got tired of the stupid. I do the same thing with TV. The Mentalist is the best example. I play on the laptop while my wife watches it now because of all the stupid they've been doing in the last year or two.

If I remember correctly this is only the 4th movie in my 47 years of life that I've walked out of in a theatre. Even went to their "arcade" area and played 2 games of Galaga on the dual retro game (Ms. Pacman was the other game). Still $0.25 after all these years.

You're so edgy.

You're trying to say having diarrhea is more enjoyable than sitting through a movie? I guess it would be if the movie was that bad, lol.

they changed the mentalist this season, now its all red john centric every episode. im enjoying it. you should check it out

Me and the person I was watching it with wanted to walk out also but we each thought the other was enjoying it so we stuck it out . Neither of us hated it but we were bored after the first explosion due to lack of character connection, story and excess of CGI debris and booms. I couldn't bring myself to care about Bullock or the red shirts that died around her as we never got to know them in any meaningful way + her survival was a forgone conclusion. I couldn't help but sit there and think how much better Apollo 13 was 18 years ago.

It's my own fault though I know as I didn't look into it enough before going and was expecting a film rather than an effects/technical showcase.

But a visual spectacle alone can't carry a movie.

Tell that to Avatar. I enjoyed this much more than that. Avatar was just a CGI Dances With Wolves/ Ferngully

It was of course not "forgone conclusion" that Apollo 13 will make it back to earth, right?
I bet my lunch money you also watch Titanic every other year thinking: Maybe they will miss the iceberg this time, so i can enjoy the fully fleshed out characters plus love story in it, even more.
