40Cent @ the movies

I'm tempted to see Gravity, but I'm not sure I can endure Sandra Bullock. Never been a fan of hers.

Ever since Miss Congeniality our family has been huge fans.

She is talented and I know she's done some good work. There's just something about her that I find off-putting.

Anyone see Gravity yet?

The Fox reviewed absolutely gushed over it, and what I thought would be a pass looks like it's a must-see-this-weekend for me and the crew.

This guy compares the movie to the early movies of the 20th Century. Although the plot isn't too great, he believes from a technical achievement it's a stunning leap forward.

My local paper raved about it it too, but I'm just not enthralled by the premise.  Not a fan of the "cut off from civilization and must survive/endure" genre.

Does the furlough of NASA's relief pilots play a part in the movie's plot? :D

Reviewers here have been gushing abot it too.....

Not sure what to think..... at first I was just going pass as I can't see myself buying into the premise as the shuttle program has been long shut down. So this didn't happen, ala Apollo 13, and can't happen now.

But I've heard at least once it may be an Oscar for Sandra Bullock.

I developed claustrophobia, for some reason, since my lung problems brought-on by the H1N1 flu.  So there is NFW that I will be seeing Gravity.  N-F-W!!!

[Staggerwing]

Wouldn't acrophobia be the one to worry about if the movie is so 'life-like'? Don't look down....

Apparently the movie does a good job of inducing claustrophobia when you'd think the opposite would be true.

In Space - no one can hear you scream.

I've seen Aliens there's all sorts of people screaming.  And in Star Wars the lasers make noise sort of like pew-pew-pew only with a cooler electric sound.  Are you saying Hollywood doesn't understand facts?

I went to see Prisoners today.  I thought about seeing Gravity but I just can't stomach Clooney at times.  Anyway, Prisoners was alright.  Suitably bleak looking (makes Pennsylvanian suburbs look pretty miserable).  The story was OK but played it a little too conventional and too safe.  I didn't guess who the real criminal was though which I always consider a bonus in these types of films. (I was very close in my guess but I'm glad I was incorrect because had my guess been right it would have been a pretty cheesy plot contrivance.)

[GDS_Starfury]

didnt JH post up a post that was extremely positive about it?

I guessed it was the cop.  I was wrong.

I guessed the missing husband.
