As someone who has a chronic fear of vast open spaces, particularly space and the open ocean, this movie terrified me. I'm not sure I trust myself to talk about it objectively, just because that terror made it such a visceral experience for me. I think we can all agree it's got the VFX Oscar in the bag, and I was deeply surprised to find myself thinking that, despite my usual disdain for Sandra Bullock, she has a completely deserved shot at another Best Actress Oscar. My one big complaint apart from the as-you-know dialogue at the beginning is the casting of Clooney—RDJ was involved earlier on in the production, I know, and he seems like a perfect fit for Kowalski.
If anyone isn't following Neil Degrasse Tyson on twitter, you should. He has a running thing going on at the moment where he's just throwing out issues and questions he has about Gravity.
Idk, fridge logic physics seems like the kind of thing that would kinda piss me off to no end.
(And no, I haven't seen it, and yes I'm in the spoilers thread. No, I have never particularly cared about this movie.)
If you're nitpicking physics about this movie, which is more accurate in its physics than any space movie in the history of cinema, I don't know what to tell you.
I think people complaining just had a different movie in their minds and are upset it wasn't the one Cuaron set out to make. It sounds like you may have wanted a more art-house, existential, bleak, slowly dying in space movie. I'd like that too, but that's not this movie, and it doesn't have to be. This is a roller-coaster action film about not giving up, and fighting tooth and nail to survive, it's an up-beat, intense-as hell, survival story. And I'm SUPER happy about that.
I am absolutely floored, jaw-dropped floored. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. I didn't necessarily expect it going in, but this is one the best action films of all time. It reminds me of the back-half of Aliens in its relentlessness.
Just, wall-to-wall holy shit. I haven't been this viscerally and emotionally drained by a movie in years.
