Gravity, t3h movie! Imax 3d.

[Hammerskjold]

I know Massimino who spent more time than anyone with the Hubble was impressed with the details on it. They even had an exact replica of a one off tool that he helped design in the film. So some of the details really are spot on, which leads me to believe that the things that aren't correct, aren't correct for a reason.

Yep I also read a few comments of astronauts jokingly saying 'so that's where my tools went.'.

Potential spoiler alert:







The event that triggers the story and action in the film, is not impossible from what I know. (Though I don't, and never claimed I'm a space cowboy.) But it would probably be a perfect storm situation if that were to happen in real life.

Most reviews I read involving real life NASA\rocket surgeons, most of them seem to possess the ability to enjoy the film and overlook some inaccuracies of a film, that never once claimed it was a 100% science doc.

At least according to this article, Cuaron originally wanted to do Gravity as a small film. So I really doubt the claim of 'this movie strived for 100% realism, invested a lot, because that's the goal from the get go,'. Maybe it's some people's quirky reading comprehension.

Again, spoiler alert.

From the link:

"I have to say it was a big act of miscalculation, naivete and stupidity," jokes Cuarón, who originally envisioned the massive adventure that is "Gravity" as a "small" film.

So I'm very much looking forward to it. Won't be able to see IMax, but will be able to see it in 3D.

There hasn't been a 3D movie that convinced me that 3D in theatres or TV is worth the extra bucks. As a tech\industrial\art demo, sure. But as a narrative with the technical whizbang? None. Until 'Gravity' did, for me at least. I think perhaps one secret was making sure it still has elements that made it work on traditional 2D screens. Like a good story.

I'm not a fan of Clooney's one character schtick, and I don't really have any strong feelings with Bullock's work. Speed and Demolition man was fun, but I don't really go out of my way to watch much of their works.

None of that entered my mind when I was watching this film. Clooney was at least tolerable, and Bullock floored me.

Then again I was busy watching the film, and the few times I was not focusing on the film overall I was thinking 'holy sh....I know how he did that shot, but -how- did he do that shot?!'.

If I wanted to jot down every single technical mistake I could find with a non-doc movie, I probably wouldn't enjoy my film viewing experience. (Unless I'm doing a MST3000 theme night with friends.) Then again Marlon Brando's Jor' El wearing a Rolex didn't make me hate Superman the Motion Picture.
