Being a middle aged guy, that idea never would have occurred to me, but that lady is right. This should be required viewing for young girls.

I liked the film, but the plot was "ok." I felt everything was too convenient for being in space. Liked Clooney's character though.
Convenient? Yes. Easy? No.

Never said it was easy, just convenient. It's like "oh, we'll just go to the ISS." *gets blowed up* Na it's cool, you've got the chinese station right over there. Not to mention how Clooney was just able to find her floating away like that too

Gravity. What a film.
If ever I wanted confirmation that the cinema is THE place to see brilliant, innovative ,entertaining work then this movie was it. From start to finish it absolutely gripped me.
The sheer beauty of the visuals. The astonishing depth to the 3D. The brilliant backing soundtrack that built the tension so superbly. The outstanding integration of live action elements and effects, they were flawless in a way I never thought I would see. I know people in the industry were impressed but it really did warrant the accolades
And then there was Sandra Bullock. I thought her performance ,hovering between cool, detached professional and the still grieving mother, was perfectly balanced. Watching her recover her strength in the light of that cabin was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever seen on screen, as I have to admit, was she. I was absolutely engrossed in her battle for survival throughout.
The best film I’ve seen for at least a couple of years.Absolutely Amazing.

Just watched Gravity. Pretty disappointed. I wasn't impressed with the trailer but had heard so many good reviews of the film that I thought I must be missing something. Guess I was wrong. No real surprise in the plot. In fact, I thought Open Water did a much much better job with a similar storyline. Bullock was Bullock, but at least I could stomach her. Clooney was Clooney and found him, as usual, annoying. I will say that the visuals were really impressive. Probably one of the better filmed space movies I've seen in awhile. Just too bad about everything else.
Did you enjoy Michael Bay's Transformer movies?

Not particularly to be honest. Ha, I think I enjoyed the old cartoons much better.

That pretty much sums up what I felt when seeing in the theater.
Still, truly glorious visuals that will take a beating on the small screen.

Just watched the BluRay special features and for those looking for a cute easter egg, Alfonso Cuarón deliberately inserted a "movie goof" into the film. During the long continuous opening shot of the film where Matt tells Houston "He appears to be doing some form of the Macarena or that would be just a best guess scenario on my part.", take a close look at what's being reflected in Matt's visor.
You will see two other astronauts. One with a camera and one with a boom mic. Of course, Alfonso says the one with the boom mic is him which I find adorable because for someone who paid such great attention to detail in the depiction of space, he should be the astronaut crew member trying to capture sound in space with a boom mic!
